More about Christian
- 11 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a Board-Approved Clinical Social Work Supervisor (BACS), a lifelong Qualified School Social Work Specialist (QSSWS), a Licensed Clergy, and an Assistant Professor of Social Work. I am now pursuing a doctorate in education, focusing on P-20 special education. For over 17 years, I have worked in social work, focusing on marginalized populations and assisting individuals/families with special education needs and disabilities and their consequences on schools, individuals, and family relations. I offer a unique perspective to my students and clients based on my personal, academic, and clinical experiences and my competence as a school and faith-based social worker. My prior expertise, experience, and perspective assist in supporting people and families as they navigate the complexity of the special education evaluation process and school-based and faith-based interventions to provide diversity, inclusive, and equitable support while in the field.

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.

Christine is knowledgeable and we learn from each other. I am going through a transformation and every week something different happens in my life which is a learning experience for the both of us..
She listens to me and gives me professional advice. She gives me homework which I love to do because this is where I am discovering myself.
I am very early in to my Better Help journey with Christian, but I have been very pleased with her responses and recieving them timely. She has allowed me to speak freely without judgement and has been fully engaged the entirety of our session! Excited to continue growing, thank you ,Christian!!
Christian is great at communicating and working with her patients. I appreciate her following up with me and her insight and understanding about what I’m going through. I highly recommend her!
Christian is attentive, caring and respectful of what I have to say. She listens when I need to talk and gives me advice that always has helped me better understand my emotions. I couldn't have asked for a better therapist and I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to work on bettering their mental health.
Christian is great! She listens and knows how to help you through your life. She accommodates your way of interacting with her. Christian helps you not feel intimidated or overwhelmed by the process. Just what I needed.

She is the absolute best
Christian is excellent at communicating the empathy and support I need during this season of life. I love that we can pray together and connect over our shared experience as women of faith who work with children. Very happy I was matched with her!
Mrs. Christian is amazing. In just a few sessions, she was able to help me realize things from a different point of view and help me understand things that are. She listens and is able to give an insight on situations you may not have thought of. Very helpful.
She listens
She is awesome and very very polite.
