About Christine
Christine Abrams helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, parenting strains, and relationship or family tensions. She is Christine Abrams, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with 35 years of clinical experience. She writes plainly and listens carefully to what matters most to each person.
Her style is practical and flexible. Sessions begin by talking through what is most pressing and by setting clear priorities together.
Background and approach
She uses client-centered methods and sometimes draws on cognitive behavioral and mindfulness tools to offer concrete ways to respond to worries, mood changes, and difficult memories. Christine often considers how a person’s relationships, culture, and life context shape current struggles. She asks about family history, roles, and everyday routines to find strengths that can be put to use now.
She may suggest books, apps, art, or writing exercises when those fit a person’s needs and interests. Therapy with her is an active collaboration. Goals are revisited as work progresses, and new options are added if something isn’t helping.
Sessions can include direct skills practice, reflection on patterns, and steps to try between meetings. Her experience includes work in community mental health centers, agencies, and colleges, and she has supervised counselors pursuing licensure. Christine aims to help people build clearer coping strategies, reduce overwhelm, and move toward the life they want.
How these approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are. Online sessions give space to talk about what feels most important, and the therapist follows the client’s lead while offering understanding and practical suggestions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote work this often includes short exercises between sessions, worksheets shared digitally, and step-by-step practice to reduce anxiety or improve mood.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to ease stress and build focus. These techniques can be guided in video or phone sessions and used as quick tools during text or chat check-ins.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will help decide which approaches fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress is tracked. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, skill practice, or scheduling between appointments. These options give flexibility while maintaining a steady path toward change.
