About Christina

Christina Garry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, mood changes, relationship strain, and grief. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at practical change rather than jargon. She begins by listening to what matters most to each person. Christina treats clients as the experts on their own lives and works alongside them to remove obstacles to better days. Sessions are shaped to match a person’s goals, whether that means managing sleep, coping with loss, or improving self-esteem. Her work draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy and following the client's lead. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. These approaches are mixed to fit the needs and pace of the person in session. Christina has supported people facing caregiving stress, workplace pressure, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She offers practical tools for coping and decision-making, and helps people rebuild routines that support mood and energy. She invites anyone ready to take the next step to move forward one small action at a time. The first steps are simple and concrete: answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session when ready. Christina aims to make therapy useful and manageable for everyday life.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the person’s priorities. In practice that means sessions start with what matters most to the client and move at their pace, which can help with anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple, practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can be useful for stress, anger, sleep, and mood problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christina collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adapts techniques over time as needs change, so treatment stays relevant and manageable.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use this flexibility to help people practice skills between sessions and apply changes in real-world situations.
