About Christine
Christine earned a Master of Social Work from Marywood University and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Bloomsburg University. She has three years of documented clinical experience working in Pennsylvania. Her background includes supporting people who have faced trauma, abuse, self-harm, and difficulties with mood or self-esteem.
In sessions she uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. Christine draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more helpful actions. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to set small, achievable steps and build momentum toward change.
Clients can expect a direct and nonjudgmental style. Conversations focus on what the client wants to change and on practical tools to make that happen. Christine also brings experience with anger management, grief counseling, first responder issues, hoarding, and intimacy-related concerns.
Throughout work together she encourages people to test and shift beliefs that get in the way of their goals. Progress is paced around each person’s needs, with attention to everyday routines like sleep, eating, and coping skills. She practices in Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Christine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused and Mindfulness-based ideas during sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety, depression, or jealousy, often with practical homework and behavior experiments. Emotionally-Focused ideas focus on noticing and naming emotions and patterns in close relationships to improve connection and reduce conflict. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support better sleep and stress management.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since session types are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some approaches translate well to remote work because they use worksheets, behavioral experiments, and short practices that can be done between sessions. Ask about session length and scheduling when you sign up so sessions fit your everyday life.
