Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and situations where rigid avoidance is getting in the way of living a meaningful life.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns formed in early life and how they affect current connections. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and healing from relational trauma by strengthening emotional connection and understanding.

Christie approaches treatment collaboratively - she works with each person to identify which therapeutic methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the process, and adjustments are made together as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Christie is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, offer continuity when travel or circumstances change, and allow people to receive consistent care from licensed professionals in a format that suits them.
