Christine Manturuk

Christine Manturuk is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage strong emotions and life changes. She focuses on practical steps for stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and feeling disconnected. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, so conversations stay focused and approachable.

She brings ten years of clinical work and uses familiar, person-centered methods to meet each person where they are. Sessions aim to clarify what matters, identify barriers, and find small, doable changes that make daily life easier. Christine pays attention to how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions.

Her background includes a master’s degree in art therapy and counseling from Drexel College of Nursing and Health Professions earned in 2015. She also completed a three-year Gestalt training program in 2021. These influences show up as a range of ways to help people reflect, create, and make sense of difficult moments.

Christine’s approach mixes mindful awareness with practical problem solving. She often uses questions and reflective listening to help people name patterns and build new responses. Sessions can include exploration of values, skills for managing intense feelings, and work on rebuilding a sense of meaning.

People come to Christine for many concerns - relationship strain, workplace stress, depression, trauma responses, caregiving burnout, and struggles with self-worth. She helps people move toward clearer priorities and more manageable day-to-day coping.

How these approaches can help in online sessions

Christine often draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to guide her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own answers; it can help with self-esteem, relationship worries, and anger. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and responsibility to help when people feel stuck or question life direction. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage intense emotions like panic or anger.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Christine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and daily life. She adapts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what the person prefers.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice new skills in the places they live and then discuss how that felt in the next session with the therapist.
