About Christian
Christian Geirsson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with nine years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, grief, anger, and issues around self-esteem. He also supports clients facing ADHD, compassion fatigue, and concerns tied to sexual orientation and multicultural identity.
Christian uses direct conversation and practical strategies in sessions. He draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in front of him. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are brought in when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are the priority.
Expect sessions that focus on clear goals and small, usable steps. He also uses motivational interviewing to help people resolve mixed feelings about change and solution-focused techniques to build short-term plans. The overall approach is straightforward and goal-oriented rather than abstract.
Christian has worked with a range of mood and personality concerns, including bipolar disorder, panic, and broader mood disorders. He also addresses relationship-related struggles such as abandonment, attachment issues, domestic violence aftermath, divorce and separation, and fatherhood questions.

How his therapeutic methods translate to online work
Christian commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in his practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities so sessions reflect what matters most. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as needed.
Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life since they reduce travel and can allow quicker check-ins during a workday or a focused hour in the evening. They also let people use quieter surroundings, choose whether to be on camera, or pick shorter or longer check-ins depending on needs. Many licensed professionals find these practical benefits help people keep momentum between sessions.
