Christine Sande

Christine Sande is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction concerns, and trauma. She speaks English and Italian and brings three years of professional experience to therapy. Christine emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care for each person who reaches out.

She focuses on tailoring conversations and plans to each person's needs. Sessions aim to identify what feels most urgent and practical next steps to try. Christine works collaboratively with clients to set achievable goals and to track small changes over time.

Her approach is straightforward and empathetic. She listens for patterns that keep problems alive and offers ideas to shift those patterns. This can include learning new ways to handle upset, building coping skills for cravings, or making space for difficult memories.

Christine often helps people sort through life transitions, relationship strain, parenting stress, and career worries. She also addresses concerns like self-esteem, body image, grief, and issues linked to substance use. People come for short-term help and for longer work when needed.

She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. That informs a first session where she and the client decide on goals and a plan. Christine supports people through steady progress, one step at a time.

Approaches that guide online work and what to expect

Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional processing. One approach involves teaching coping skills for strong emotions like anger and anxiety so people have concrete strategies to try when they feel overwhelmed. Another approach concentrates on understanding patterns that keep problems going, helping people notice triggers, and testing small behavior changes to interrupt those patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist and client will decide together which techniques to try based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking in about what helps and adjusting plans over time.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling around work or parenting. It can also let sessions be shorter or use phone audio when that better matches a person's day. Ask about current session options when you start the matching process to find what will work best for you.
