Evidence-informed approaches, made accessible online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled off course by them. It emphasizes practical skills for making choices that align with personal values, which can be especially helpful when stress, anxiety, grief, or major life changes feel consuming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions. By identifying unhelpful patterns and trying new coping strategies, clients can build day-to-day tools for managing overwhelm, improving mood, and responding differently to triggers related to trauma, loss, or ongoing pressures.

Client-Centered Therapy offers a supportive, respectful space where the therapist listens closely and collaborates with the client’s pace and priorities. This approach can be a strong fit for people who want therapy to feel grounded, validating, and tailored to their lived experience.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine Callahan works collaboratively, helping clients clarify goals and preferences and then shaping sessions around what feels most useful and sustainable over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent with support, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and access care from a comfortable setting.
