Christine Manturuk, LPC

Approaches that translate to online care

Christine uses Existential Therapy to help people look at meaning, choice, and values when life feels confusing or empty. That work often involves talking through life directions, losses, and ways to reconnect with purpose. Client-Centered Therapy is another core approach and focuses on listening closely to a person’s perspective so they feel heard and understood; this helps build trust and lets people find solutions that fit them. Mindfulness Therapy adds short practices and attention skills people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and steady mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christine treats the process as collaborative - she will check in about what methods feel helpful and adapt the plan based on the client's goals and preferences. That means trying a practice, reviewing how it went, and shifting course if needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, daily support, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related routines.
