About Christine
Christine Snead is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She draws on 15 years in the mental health field to help people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship struggles. Christine writes plainly and works to make therapy feel understandable and useful from the first visit.
She combines client-centered approaches with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs her work around closeness and connection, which can help when intimacy or relationship patterns are causing pain. Sessions include goal-focused conversation and concrete strategies that people can use between meetings. Christine has experience supporting people with grief, addiction, parenting strain, career transitions, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue.
She also helps with adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems. That practical background shapes how she plans sessions and sets short-term goals. Her style is straightforward and warm.
She listens first, then suggests small experiments and skills to try. Progress is tracked in regular check-ins so people can see what is changing and what still needs work. Christine works with adults facing a range of life stressors and mental health challenges.
She encourages people to take the first step and offers clear guidance on how to begin the process.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment, helping people feel heard while they figure out what changes they want to make. This approach works well for stress, self-esteem, and adjustment concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Sessions often include short exercises and real-world practice between meetings.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape connection and interaction, which can help when intimacy or relationship patterns cause pain. It helps people notice their emotional responses and try new ways of relating.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences, then recommend methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, so the work stays practical and focused on the person's priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face; phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep steady progress.
