About Christine
Christine Abrams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 35 years of experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, grief, trauma, addictions, anger, and the strains of life change.
She practices in a client-centered way and pays attention to family systems. Sessions focus on the person and their relationships. Christine listens, helps set priorities, and works alongside clients to reach practical goals.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She often offers concrete tools such as readings, apps, writing, or art activities to practice between sessions. These tools are chosen to match each person's interests and situation.
Because much of her background is in family work, she frequently asks about relationships, culture, and the environment shaping someone’s concerns. That perspective helps find strengths people already have and apply them to current problems like communication, impulsivity, or parenting strain.
Over her career Christine has worked in community mental health centers, agencies, and colleges, and she has supervised counselors toward licensure. She aims to provide active, solution-focused sessions that generate options and skills clients can use in everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Christine uses client-centered methods to focus on the person's immediate concerns and priorities. That approach means sessions begin with what matters most to the client and proceed at a pace the client sets. It helps with relationship stress, anger, and life transitions by keeping the work practical and goal-oriented.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems active. CBT in sessions often includes trying new responses, tracking reactions, and practicing skills between meetings. Mindfulness practices are used to help people notice strong feelings and respond more deliberately rather than react automatically.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Christine will work with clients to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative effort focused on usable strategies.
If you want online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. The practical advantage of online work is that it can fit into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work or family, and tools or exercises can be shared for use between meetings. Ask about options and how they can be arranged to match your routine and needs.
