About Christine

Christine Abrams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with 35 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, grief, parenting struggles, and life changes. Christine focuses on practical steps you can use right away to feel steadier and more in control.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions begin with listening to your concerns and setting clear priorities together. She draws from client-centered work and family systems thinking, so conversations consider your relationships and daily environment as part of the healing process.

Christine also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools to give concrete ways to manage thoughts, moods, and behaviors. She may offer short exercises, reading suggestions, apps, or creative tasks like writing or art to support progress between meetings. These tools are chosen to match each person’s interests and goals.

Across her career Christine has worked in community mental health centers, agencies, and colleges, and has supervised counselors pursuing licensure. That background informs a steady, experienced style that pays attention to strengths and practical solutions. She pays special attention to attachment, abandonment, family of origin issues, and challenges like ADHD, chronic illness, or isolation.

People who work with Christine can expect a paced, active process that focuses on clear goals and usable strategies. She is committed to helping clients build skills, reduce overwhelm, and move toward meaningful change.

How Christine’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Christine uses client-centered therapy to build a working relationship that starts with listening closely to what matters most to you. This approach focuses on understanding your perspective and shaping sessions around your priorities and strengths.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which offers clear techniques to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT tools can help with anxiety, anger, low mood, and problems with impulsivity by teaching concrete skills to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as you learn what helps. That collaborative process means methods may shift over time to match changing needs and what produces progress.

The biography does not list specific online formats for sessions, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. It can also fit brief check-ins into a busy day, allow quieter sessions when needed, and let people use mindfulness or homework tools in their usual environment. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, reading suggestions, apps, and creative activities to remote sessions, supporting steady progress without requiring extra trips to appointments.
