About Christine
LCSW in California with 16 years of experience, Christine Taber helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and life changes. She focuses on practical steps that people can try between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and use motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods where appropriate.
Christine frames conversations around what each person wants to change. She treats the person as the expert on their life and asks targeted questions to uncover small, useful next steps. That approach is direct and problem-focused rather than long-term exploration of history.
In sessions she concentrates on improving communication, managing guilt or shame, and reducing isolation. She also supports people dealing with veteran and armed forces issues and mood disorders. Work often involves setting short-term goals and testing new behaviors to see what helps.
Her style emphasizes active listening, practical suggestions, and follow-up on experimented changes. Motivational Interviewing is used to build readiness for change and to strengthen commitment to goals. Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify strengths and quick steps that move daily life forward.
