About Christine

Christine Abrams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, relationship concerns, grief, addiction, trauma, and life transitions. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at building trust so people feel comfortable sharing what matters most to them.

She brings 35 years of experience in community mental health centers, agencies, and college settings. That background includes managing therapy programs and providing supervision for counselors pursuing licensure. Over the years she has worked with adults facing many common challenges, and she uses that experience to offer grounded, realistic support.

Christine bases her work in client-centered therapy and often views concerns in the context of relationships and environment. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness techniques when those fit a person’s goals. Sessions are collaborative - she and the client identify priorities and try different strategies together.

Her sessions can include practical tools like books, apps, or creative activities such as writing or art. These are chosen to match each person’s interests and needs. She pays attention to family history, attachment patterns, and everyday stresses to find strengths that help move things forward.

Christine aims to help people develop useful coping strategies and clearer direction. She focuses on small, manageable steps and celebrates progress along the way.

How these approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy puts your needs and goals at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps you decide the next steps. This approach is useful for people looking for a supportive space to sort out feelings and make choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It uses specific exercises and practical tools to change unhelpful habits and improve mood or anxiety. CBT techniques often help with stress, panic, and persistent negative thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Together they decide whether to emphasize client-centered listening, CBT tools, mindfulness practices, or trauma-focused steps based on current needs.

If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to use digital tools like apps or online worksheets between sessions to practice skills and track progress.
