How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Christiane often combines mindfulness practice and cognitive behavioral techniques in session. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing exercises to help reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness, which can help with anxiety, stress, and mood regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms and improve everyday functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the early work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to practice skills in the settings where problems occur, so the work feels more immediately useful.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
