Christine Taber

Christine Taber is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She also supports people coping with life changes, relationship concerns, communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Christine writes plainly and listens carefully so clients feel understood from the first conversation.

She practices supportive counseling that treats each person as the expert on their own life. That means she focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions. She works with motivation and goal-setting to help people make small changes that add up.

Christine uses approaches such as Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to keep work brief and goal-oriented when that fits. Sessions often involve clarifying what the client wants to change and testing simple strategies to get there. Progress is tracked through those small experiments rather than long lectures.

With 16 years as an LCSW in California, Christine draws on a wide range of everyday clinical experience. She aims to build a working relationship where clients feel safe to talk through hard feelings and try new behaviors. Her tone is practical and direct, while remaining warm and respectful.

People who want straightforward support for anxiety, mood concerns, isolation, or life transitions may find her approach helpful. She encourages questions and collaborative planning so each person leaves a session with clear next steps.

How Christine uses brief, practical approaches online

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps people sort out their own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen motivation for steps like improving sleep, reducing avoidance, or reaching a personal goal.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying concrete goals and testing small, real-world actions. Sessions usually focus on what is already working and on simple experiments clients can try between meetings to build momentum.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts pacing and focus as progress unfolds so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online therapy can help fit sessions into busy days, cut commute time, and make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use approaches like motivational interviewing and solution-focused work without needing long-term commitments.
