More about Christine

  • 32 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hi I am a therapist licensed in Missouri. I have over 30 years experience. I have experience with a wide range of mental health issues from mood disorders such as depression and anxiety to relationship issues to more severe mental illness.

My therapy style is interactive. My approach is from a strength based perspective. I believe you truly are the expert when it comes to your needs and sometimes you might need to just talk it through to find that answer.

I have experience with helping folks find community supports.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy at times and may suggest homework that can be explored outside of sessions.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Reviewed May 2023

I am not someone who thought I would ever go into therapy, but after experiencing it and the growth and benefits I feel from it in such a short time already, I would recommend it to as many people as possible, and hopefully those who do try are lucky enough to work with someone as good as Christine. She has taught me to acknowledge the ups and downs and to try and explore the reasons as to why they come about. Those who do read this and consider going to therapy know that it is a long process and will take time. You cannot rush it, but the rewards are only greater the longer you are in it.
