About Christine
Christine Toler is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and parenting strain. She writes plainly and listens closely, aiming to turn talk into practical steps. Her work is calm and direct, focused on what a person can do next to feel steadier.
She brings about ten years as an LPC and earlier experience as a school counselor to sessions. Christine believes that understanding a problem is only the start.
Background and approach
The most important part is trying small changes and noticing what shifts. In sessions she uses cognitive approaches and mindfulness to break unhelpful patterns. She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past hurt keeps showing up in day-to-day life.
Conversations move from insight to doable actions that fit each person’s life. Christine is comfortable talking through family stress, parenting concerns, relationship strain, and issues like abandonment or attachment wounds. She also supports people dealing with obsessive thoughts, panic, anger, low self-esteem, and the challenges that come with major life changes.
She works with teens, adults, and parents and keeps a straightforward, nonjudgmental style. Clients can expect clear strategies, simple mindfulness practices, and step-by-step plans to try between sessions. Christine aims to model openness and ongoing growth as part of the work together.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Christine often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and replace them with more helpful actions. CBT is practical and task-focused, so it can be useful for panic, depression, or upsetting cycles of thinking.She also offers mindfulness-based work to help people notice stressful reactions without getting swept away by them. Mindfulness exercises can be short and simple, and they often help with stress, rumination, and anger regulation.
Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to shape daily life. This work aims to reduce the hold of painful memories and teach skills for coping when reminders come up.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera time is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins or brief coaching between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting schedules and to keep continuity when life gets busy.
