About Christine
Christine Crawford is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 37 years of clinical experience. She focuses on issues such as family stress, parenting challenges, ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. Christine works with people who are dealing with relationship strain, changes in family structure, or persistent frustration that gets in the way of daily life.
She draws on long experience helping people sort through family conflicts and blended family dynamics. That includes supporting parents who feel overwhelmed, people coping with mood concerns like bipolar disorder or disruptive mood dysregulation, and those living with neurodevelopmental differences such as autism or Asperger syndrome. She also addresses problems like impulsivity, social anxiety, and concerns related to prejudice and multicultural stressors.
In sessions she aims to make discussions straightforward and practical. Conversations tend to focus on clearer communication, managing strong emotions, and building steps that can be tried between meetings. Christine emphasizes respectful, culturally aware work that pays attention to each person's background and life context.
She helps people develop skills for emotional regulation and problem solving. That can look like practicing ways to reduce reactive responses, creating predictable routines for parenting, or finding tools to manage stress at work. Her long career gives her a wide set of approaches to draw on while staying focused on what a client needs now.
People who choose her often want help with day-to-day coping, improving interactions with family members, and reducing the burden of persistent anger or resentment. She asks practical questions and works collaboratively to set clear goals for therapy.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Christine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on emotion regulation and communication. One common approach helps people learn simple skills to notice triggers and reduce reactive responses, which can be useful for anger, impulsivity, and mood swings. Another approach centers on improving interaction patterns within families and blended households, using practical exercises to change how people speak and respond to each other.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine works collaboratively with each person to choose and adapt methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews what has and hasn’t worked in the past and suggests concrete strategies to try between sessions so progress can be measured and adjusted together.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a longer visit is not needed. It can also let a client try a few strategies at home and then talk through how they went in the next meeting, helping treatment stay practical and focused on everyday life.
