Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Christie incorporates EMDR, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness-based techniques into her work. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity through structured phases of guided processing. The Gottman Method for couples centers on improving communication patterns, building relationship skills, and addressing conflict in practical, research-informed ways. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, and emotional reactivity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christie works with each person or couple to identify goals, assess needs, and select methods that fit their circumstances and preferences. Licensed professionals often combine techniques so care is personalized and responsive to change over time.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility and easier access to ongoing support. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow therapists to tailor interactions to what works best for each client.
