About Christian
Christian Geirsson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with nine years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, mood concerns, ADHD, and challenges tied to life changes. He also offers support around LGBT issues, family stress, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Christian uses a respectful, straightforward style. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. He aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's situation instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Background and approach
In the room he listens first and asks questions to understand what matters most to the client. He blends problem-solving tools with emotional support so people can manage symptoms and make daily life feel steadier. He also works with issues like attachment, isolation, divorce, and parenthood challenges when they come up.
His methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused thinking. Those methods are used to help with worry, panic, mood shifts, and repeating patterns that get in the way of life goals. Christian frames therapy as a collaborative process.
He helps people find small, realistic changes that add up over time. If someone is ready to begin, he encourages a short intake and a straightforward planning conversation to set the first steps.
How these approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective. The therapist listens closely and follows what the client says matters most, helping them find their own solutions and build self-direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress without making things worse.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist and client review goals and try techniques together to see what fits. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that matches the person’s needs, preferences, and pace rather than assuming one method will work for everyone.
Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and more visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send notes or check in between sessions and can be helpful for brief support or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility so clients can try different ways of connecting as treatment progresses.
