About Christine
Christine Abrams is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 35 years of experience to her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. Christine writes and speaks plainly, and she aims to make therapy feel understandable and manageable for busy people.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Sessions are collaborative and practical. She and the client set priorities, try specific strategies, and track what helps over time.
Background and approach
Christine has worked in community mental health centers, nonprofit agencies, and college settings across Pennsylvania. She has also overseen therapy programs and provided supervision for clinicians pursuing professional licensure. That background gives her a wide range of experience with common life struggles and transitions.
In sessions she blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness tools. She may suggest exercises, reading, apps, or creative activities like writing or art when those fit the client's interests. Recommendations are chosen to match each person's needs and day-to-day life.
Because Christine often thinks about people in the context of their relationships and environment, she asks about family, work, culture, and supports. She focuses on practical steps that build on existing strengths and help people move forward at their own pace.
Approaches for online sessions that focus on practical change
Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's goals and experiences. In online sessions this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and works with the client to set priorities and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Online CBT often involves short skill-building exercises, worksheets, and practical experiments to try between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will discuss different methods and tailor the mix to the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize problem-focused work, exploration of life patterns, or mindfulness practices, and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick updates, written reflections, or ongoing support between appointments. These options increase flexibility and help people maintain continuity of care despite busy schedules.
