Christine O'Connor

Christine O'Connor is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. She brings 27 years of experience and a calm, steady presence to sessions. She emphasizes practical steps and respects each person as the expert on their own story.

She focuses on immediate concerns like coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Christine also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related struggles, parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, career shifts, and compassion fatigue. Her practice includes attention to neurodiversity, attachment questions, and complex health or caregiving issues.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens for strengths and works with clients to build small, usable skills. Sessions aim to make daily life easier rather than just talk about problems.

Christine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide interventions. She helps people break patterns, learn coping tools, and practice new behaviors between sessions. The work is paced to each person’s needs.

She is licensed in New Hampshire as an LCSW, and offers services in English. International clients are accepted. To get started, use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving so they can reduce anxiety and anger and handle stress more effectively. Another approach focuses on building concrete coping skills for managing cravings, strong emotions, sleep problems, and grief through step-by-step practice.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the work as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make sessions accessible when illness or caregiving responsibilities limit leaving the home. The therapist and client will coordinate format and scheduling to match needs and daily life.
