About Christine

Christine Taber is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. She uses a supportive style that treats clients as the experts in their own lives. Christine focuses on practical steps people can take to regain motivation and handle everyday pressures.

Her method is collaborative and goal-oriented. She listens first, then helps a person set manageable objectives and track progress. Sessions are conversational and focused on what will help now and next.

Christine draws on motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and solution-focused techniques to build on what already works. Those approaches help with motivation, problem solving, and breaking down big problems into doable steps.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own reasons for change. The therapist asks open questions, reflects what she hears, and helps clarify personal goals. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure how to get started.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical steps that already help. Conversations look for exceptions to the problem and build on what’s working. It is helpful for people who want quick, concrete ways to move forward with day-to-day challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then recommend ways to proceed. The plan can change as needs shift and progress is tracked collaboratively.
