She focuses on helping people managing depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship challenges.

She meets each person as an individual and adapts conversations to fit who they are. Sessions center on understanding what feels most difficult now and identifying small, doable changes. Christiane balances practical strategies with careful listening so people feel heard while making progress.

Her work includes supporting those coping with trauma and abuse and addressing intimacy-related concerns. She also helps with related issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and postpartum depression.

How evidence-based techniques work online

Christiane uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. One approach focuses on practical behavior changes and skill building to lift mood and manage daily stress. This helps when depression or anxiety make routines and motivation difficult.

Another common focus is on processing relationship and intimacy concerns through structured conversation and improved communication practice. This approach helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christiane will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, pace, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress and needs evolve.
