About Christine

Christine Toler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on anger, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, parenting strains, relationship problems, and trauma and abuse. Christine uses practical strategies to help people change unhelpful patterns rather than just talk about them.

She began therapy as a child and credits that experience with shaping her approach. That personal history informs how she listens and how she talks with people. Christine emphasizes solution-focused work and clear steps people can use between sessions.

Her methods draw on cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and reactions, and then try different responses. Trauma-focused work is used when past hurts keep affecting present life. Sessions aim to identify small, measurable actions that reduce anger, lower anxiety, or improve communication.

Christine says understanding a problem is not the end of the work. The focus is on actions that support positive change. She prefers straightforward, nonjudgmental conversation and gives homework or exercises when they help move things forward.

She has held licenses in Tennessee and New Jersey and has worked with teens, adults, and families in different settings. Christine continues to reflect on her own experiences as part of her practice. People who want practical tools for managing strong feelings and repairing relationships may find her approach direct and useful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Christine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors; this can cut through patterns that feed anger and anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and slow reactivity so strong emotions are easier to notice and respond to. Trauma-Focused Therapy is applied when past events continue to affect current feelings and relationships, with attention to gradual, paced change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to pick which methods to try based on their goals and what feels manageable. The plan can shift as progress happens and new needs appear.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets someone try a method while juggling work or family commitments, and it supports using homework and exercises between meetings.
