About Christine
Christine Abrams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 35 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting challenges, grief, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and related life changes. Christine also addresses issues like ADHD, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
She has practiced in community mental health centers, agencies, and colleges. She has run therapy programs and supervised counselors pursuing licensure. Her background means she is familiar with a wide range of life situations and practical barriers people bring to therapy.
Christine describes her approach as client-centered and informed by family systems thinking. That means she pays attention to relationships, environment, and culture when talking about problems. Sessions involve clear priorities, active planning, and straightforward options to try between meetings.
She also integrates cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness into her work. Those techniques are used to identify patterns, try new coping skills, and reduce unhelpful thinking and reactivity. Christine often suggests books, apps, or simple creative exercises such as writing or art to reinforce what is discussed in session.
Her style is practical and collaborative. She asks questions about strengths and resources and offers a range of strategies to manage anger, impulsivity, communication problems, grief, and parenting strain. The work focuses on usable tools and steady progress rather than promises of quick fixes.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Christine uses client-centered therapy to focus on the client’s views, priorities, and strengths. This approach involves listening, asking about relationships and context, and working from what matters to the person. It helps with ongoing stress, relationship difficulties, and figuring out goals.She also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT is practical and skill-based, useful for anger, anxiety, and depression because it teaches ways to notice triggers and try different responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as goals shift or new problems arise.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to use digital tools like apps or reading materials between sessions to reinforce skills learned during meetings.
