More about Christine

  • 32 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hi I am a therapist licensed in Missouri. I have over 30 years experience. I have experience with a wide range of mental health issues from mood disorders such as depression and anxiety to relationship issues to more severe mental illness.

My therapy style is interactive. My approach is from a strength based perspective. I believe you truly are the expert when it comes to your needs and sometimes you might need to just talk it through to find that answer.

I have experience with helping folks find community supports.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy at times and may suggest homework that can be explored outside of sessions.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Reviewed May 2023

I am not someone who thought I would ever go into therapy, but after experiencing it and the growth and benefits I feel from it in such a short time already, I would recommend it to as many people as possible, and hopefully those who do try are lucky enough to work with someone as good as Christine. She has taught me to acknowledge the ups and downs and to try and explore the reasons as to why they come about. Those who do read this and consider going to therapy know that it is a long process and will take time. You cannot rush it, but the rewards are only greater the longer you are in it.
