About Christine
Christine Abrams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 35 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, parenting worries, addictions, trauma, grief, ADHD, and life transitions. Christine writes in a straightforward way and aims to create a trusting space for people to make real change.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Sessions are practical and collaborative.
Background and approach
Christine listens first, then helps set clear priorities and steps that fit each person's life and goals. She draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and trauma-focused ideas. Work may include talking through patterns, practicing new skills, or using short exercises between sessions.
Christine often suggests books, apps, or creative tasks such as writing or art when those tools match a person's needs. Because much of her experience involves family work, she pays attention to relationships, cultural background, and the environments that shape behavior.
That perspective helps identify strengths to build on when addressing communication problems, attachment concerns, blended family issues, or role changes after separation. Her style is active and goal-focused. People can expect options and concrete strategies rather than vague advice.
Christine emphasizes steady progress and practical ways to cope with intense feelings, impulsivity, or compassion fatigue.

How Christine’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people choose the next steps that fit their life. This approach is useful for working through anger, relationship issues, and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to find practical changes. Sessions often include skill practice, short exercises, and homework to build new habits. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and patterns that feed anger.
Christine views choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will help identify which methods match a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time. The focus is on finding workable tools and clear steps rather than a single prescribed method.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, journaling-style exchanges, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, manage follow-up tasks, or practice skills in real time.
