Approach-focused online therapy with Christiane Alfred

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding the person as an individual, offering empathy and acceptance while the client explores personal goals and emotions. This approach can be helpful for self-esteem concerns, life transitions, and building motivation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical and skills-based, often used to address anxiety, stress, low mood, and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Christiane collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Christiane is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options that suit different schedules and comfort levels. Working remotely makes it easier to access registered professionals from different locations and to maintain continuity of care when life is busy or travel is difficult.
