About Christine
Christine Abrams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 35 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, as well as grief, addiction, ADHD, and family-related problems including family of origin issues. She offers straightforward, practical help for people coping with life changes, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach begins with listening and clarifying what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on clear priorities and concrete steps. She uses client-centered methods and draws on cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to address thoughts, behaviors, and coping skills. Trauma-focused methods inform work when past hurts affect present functioning.
Christine has provided therapy in community mental health centers, agencies, and college settings. She has also managed therapy programs and supervised counselors pursuing licensure. That background shapes how she plans treatment and supports skill-building across different life contexts.
In sessions she discusses relationships, environment, and cultural factors that influence current patterns. She suggests practical tools such as books, apps, writing, or simple art activities when those fit a person’s interests. The intent is to expand options and help people try approaches that suit their life and goals.
People who come for help often leave with clearer priorities and a set of strategies to use between meetings. Christine focuses on finding strengths to build on, and on giving manageable steps to practice outside sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions involve
Christine commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, clarifying what matters to the client, and working at the client’s pace to set goals. This approach helps when people need a clear, collaborative setting to talk through patterns rooted in family relationships.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to teach practical skills for change. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related habits, and for managing anger or impulsivity.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative conversation rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins between in-person commitments. They also let people use quieter surroundings, reduce the need for long commutes, or choose sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on the available formats.
