About Christine
Christine Perez is a licensed counselor who brings 24 years of practice to her work with adults. She uses a gentle, person-centered style paired with practical strategies to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. Christine writes plainly and listens closely so conversations feel useful from the first session.
Her sessions often blend client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral tools. That means she helps people name thoughts and habits that make problems worse, then tries small changes to shift outcomes.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are also used to teach simple ways to calm racing thoughts and reduce overwhelm. Christine has experience addressing life transitions and issues like self-esteem, midlife shifts, and questions about life purpose. She also works with specific concerns such as postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, and eating and food-related issues.
First responder stress, social anxiety, and self-harm thoughts are among the focused areas she supports. Her background includes licensure as a Kansas LCPC and a Missouri LPC. Christine aims for sessions that feel collaborative and direct, with clear goals and concrete next steps.
Over time she helps people build coping skills that fit everyday life. People who meet with Christine can expect straightforward language and practical options. She prefers an approach that balances understanding with action so clients leave each session with something to try before the next meeting.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person where they are. In online sessions this shows up as open conversation and reflection, helping people feel heard and understood while they set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes. Online work with CBT can include tracking thoughts between sessions and trying short experiments to see what shifts.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their needs and goals. That might mean starting with supportive listening and then adding CBT or mindfulness exercises if those feel useful. Choices are reviewed as progress is made so the plan can change when needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people connect face to face when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or when a written record of tools is helpful. These formats make regular work on goals easier to schedule around daily life.
