Christine O'Neill

Christine O'Neill is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, relationship strain, and grief. She brings 18 years of experience to sessions and favors a warm, interactive style that feels like coaching. Christine often gives small tasks between meetings so clients can practice new skills in daily life.

Her approach is goal oriented and direct, with humor used to soften hard moments and keep perspective. Christine encourages clear, practical steps rather than long lists of theory. She pays attention to mood disorders, career transitions, parenting strains, and the challenges that follow separation or loss.

Clients can expect a conversational tone and practical homework. Christine often invites reflection through written work and actions that build momentum. She helps people break big problems into manageable steps and checks progress in follow up conversations.

Her background includes many years supporting people with addictions, family stress, trauma, and coping with chronic life changes. Christine combines client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral tools and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation is needed.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Christine asks new people to complete a short matching questionnaire as a first step, then schedule a time that fits their life. Her goal is to help people move from feeling stuck to making steady, realistic change.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Christine frequently draws on client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's goals, which helps people feel heard while clarifying what they want to change. Cognitive-behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns.

She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy when strong emotions need steadier regulation. DBT skills teach pacing, distress tolerance, and ways to manage intense feelings without acting on them. These approaches together can help with anger, anxiety, addiction, and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted over time as progress is reviewed.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats were not exhaustively listed in the biography. Messaging approaches were noted as a preference and may allow more time to think before replying. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and support steady follow up and short check-ins between longer sessions.
