Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions are used
Christie often blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with relationship and family concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person so they can name priorities and decide next steps. CBT looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers tools to test and change unhelpful patterns.She may also draw on the Gottman Method for people who want to work on relationship skills and communication. That approach breaks skills down into small practices to improve how partners talk and resolve conflict. Together with the client, Christie will discuss which methods fit the goals and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed; deciding the right approach is a collaborative process.
