Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Overall rating:
She was awesome at listening. She gave good tips and insights about my past and my current state. Her voice is soothing and has you just talking before you know it. She is very skilled and great at her profession. Thank you Christine.
She is a good listener and seems straight in her answers and suggestions.
Christine is a true professional. She is one of the best therapist I have ever seen. She has terrific active listening skills that lets me know she is paying attention to only me during my sessions. If she wants you to try an exercise she doesn’t just tell you the steps and leaves it up to you to make sure you are doing it correctly , she walks you through it entirely. She is the most knowledgeable professional I have found when it comes to DBT and BPD. She is also checking in between sessions while I struggle to and that is a big help.
Christine has been such a tremendous help to me during this very difficult season of my life. Writing in my journal everyday and having her respond with positive validation and offering me encouragement has been such a healing tool and blessing.
Christine has been extremely supportive and helpful during my therapy sessions. I really appreciate her trauma informed approach.
