About Christina

Christina Garry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, mood concerns, relationship problems, grief, sleep trouble, and career strain. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use right away to feel more in control of their reactions and choices.

Christina starts from the idea that clients know their own lives best. She treats each person with respect and listens for what matters most to them. Sessions are collaborative - she helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and tests small changes that can reduce frustration and improve relationships.

Her work combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). That means there is attention to the client's perspective and concrete strategies to change thoughts and behaviors. People leave sessions with specific tools to manage anger, lower anxiety, and sleep better.

Christina has helped people navigate long-term mood issues such as bipolar disorder and depression, as well as trauma, caregiver stress, and workplace pressures. She also supports concerns common with aging and caregiving, like isolation and communication problems.

Practical coaching around career decisions and coping with life changes is part of her offering. If someone wants to try therapy, Christina asks about goals up front and builds sessions around what a person wants to work on most.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online work and how sessions fit into life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them, which is useful for anger that comes from unmet needs or relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers step-by-step techniques for changing unhelpful thinking and testing new reactions, which can reduce flare-ups and lower ongoing tension.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose or combine methods based on goals, preferences, and what is helping in early sessions. That planning happens together rather than being decided in advance.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, require less travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can be helpful on a work break or when surroundings are noisy. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your schedule and goals.
