About Christine
Christine Toler is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, anger, and parenting strain. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel manageable for worried parents and busy adults. Christine draws on a decade of counseling experience to guide practical steps that clients can use between sessions.
She emphasizes clear, doable actions over only talking about problems. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, trying new ways of responding, and building skills that reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
Christine uses cognitive tools and mindfulness exercises to help people shift how they think and react in everyday moments. Christine trained and worked as a school counselor before moving into broader clinical practice. That background shaped her interest in helping teens, young adults, and parents navigate life changes and communication challenges.
She also supports people dealing with trauma and long-standing emotional wounds. Her style is down-to-earth and nonjudgmental. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where understanding leads to action.
Clients can expect straightforward strategies for managing panic, compulsive behaviors, low self-esteem, and relationship problems. Christine holds LPC credentials in Tennessee and New Jersey and brings personal experience as someone who benefitted from therapy early in life. She continues to learn and grow while helping others build coping skills, repair communication, and move toward steadier moods and clearer choices.

How CBT, Mindfulness, and Trauma-Focused Care Work Online
Christine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and the actions that follow. CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking, which works well for worries, panic, or mood problems.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and increase emotional steadiness. Those techniques can be practiced during daily moments to ease stress and improve focus.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events continue to cause distress. This approach helps people process difficult memories and reduce their hold on current reactions, especially around relationship triggers and strong emotions.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and comfort level. Together they set goals and try approaches, adjusting as needed.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations, phone works well for lower bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult, and chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins or brief reflections between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
