About Christina
Christina Garry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, sleep issues, self-esteem, and workplace struggles. She presents herself as a collaborative clinician who follows the client's lead in sessions.
Christina emphasizes practical work that focuses on what gets in the way of life, career, and relationship goals. She mixes Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and build clearer communication. Sessions are aimed at concrete changes rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes two decades of direct practice supporting people through trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, and aging or geriatric concerns. She also addresses relationship patterns, isolation, mood disorders, paranoia, and women’s issues. Christina draws on both listening and structured techniques to address these areas.
In session she works collaboratively, asking questions and offering exercises when they fit the client's goals. Clients can expect a mix of open conversation and specific tools from CBT, such as reframing thoughts and practicing different responses to triggers. Progress is tracked through agreed steps and adjustments over time.
If someone is ready to try a structured, person-focused approach to handling anger, stress, or life changes, Christina asks them to begin by completing the site’s matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist reflects what she hears, helps clarify values and goals, and follows the client's lead to decide what to work on. This approach supports people who need space to talk through anger, grief, or relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical steps to change thoughts and behaviors. CBT helps identify patterns that feed anger or anxiety, then introduces concrete exercises - such as thought records, behavioral experiments, or new communication practices - that can be tried between sessions. It is commonly used for stress, depression, and sleep problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Christina will work with each person to pick strategies that match their goals and preferences. She reviews what helps and adjusts the plan over time, so sessions stay focused on useful, realistic steps.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or phone choices that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth. Licensed professionals can offer the same combination of listening and CBT tools through virtual sessions when the format fits the client's needs.
