About Christianne
Christianne Griffin is a licensed professional counselor with 24 years of clinical experience in Wisconsin. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship strain, and issues tied to grief or trauma. She aims to make therapy simple and practical so people can start using new skills quickly.
Her sessions begin with listening closely to what matters most to each person. She helps clients sort priorities, learn coping strategies, and try small changes that add up.
Background and approach
The work is collaborative and paced to fit each person's life. Christianne blends several well-known approaches to match the needs that come up. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thinking patterns.
She uses acceptance and commitment tools to build values-based action. Attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas help when relationships or past bonds affect present choices. Over two decades she has supported people facing parenting stress, family conflict, career strain, chronic illness, and identity concerns including LGBT matters.
She also addresses eating and sleeping problems, anger, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work with adoption and foster care topics, attachment challenges, and neurodiversity concerns like autism. Sessions are offered in English and can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Christianne combines practical skill-building with a respectful, client-centered stance so people can move toward clearer goals and steadier routines.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and coping with ADHD-related frustration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and mood shifts. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past relationships shape current patterns and can help when connection or trust issues affect daily life.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, test strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative stance means methods may be mixed or changed over time to match progress and preferences.
Online sessions offer flexibility across formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or times when a quick check-in is needed. Christianne uses these formats to focus on skill-building, values-driven steps, and steady progress regardless of where someone is located.
