About Christine
Christine Abrams is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania who welcomes people ready to make change. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting strain, grief, trauma, addictions, and codependency. Her style is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at finding workable steps that fit everyday life.
She brings 35 years of experience in community mental health centers, agencies, and colleges. That background included managing therapy programs and supervising counselors working toward licensure. Christine has worked with people from many walks of life and across a wide age range.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most, then adds tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness work as needed. Sessions are active and tailored, with clear priorities and concrete skills to practice between meetings.
Christine often draws on family systems thinking and asks about relationships, environment, and culture. She looks for strengths you already have and ways to apply them to current problems. She may suggest books, apps, writing, or art exercises chosen to match your interests.
Throughout care she focuses on collaboration and options. Together she and the client set goals, try approaches, and adjust plans based on what helps. The aim is steady progress and practical strategies that fit daily life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation. That means sessions begin with the client's concerns and priorities, and the therapist follows the client's lead to set goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and codependency by teaching specific strategies to test thoughts and develop new habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She may mix client-centered listening with CBT or mindfulness practices to create a plan that feels practical and useful.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing check-ins from different locations. It can also let people choose shorter or longer meetings, use writing or art assignments between sessions, and apply tools in the settings where problems occur. Licensed professionals can adjust pacing and homework to suit a remote format, helping clients build skills they can use day to day.
