About Christina
Christina Rydeen is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and addictions. She offers a calm, accepting space where clients can talk about their thoughts and feelings without judgement. Christina encourages practical steps toward better mood, motivation, and self-esteem.
With 14 years of experience, Christina draws on several therapy approaches to meet everyday needs. She uses straightforward strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice hard emotions and commit to actions that match their values. Her sessions are client-centered, which means she listens first and follows each person’s pace. She focuses on real-life concerns like coping with life changes, relationship strain, grief, and chronic health challenges.
Work may include building communication skills, setting boundaries, or managing intense reactions like anger. Christina also helps people facing mood disorders, ADHD, body image struggles, and caregiver stress. She breaks goals into small, concrete steps and checks progress as therapy moves forward.
That approach makes change feel more doable. She holds LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) credentials in Missouri and Kansas. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled online or by phone.
Christina aims to create a supportive partnership that keeps practical problem solving at the center of care.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, anger, and life transitions by shifting focus toward valued action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, teaching specific skills to change unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors for mood and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will listen to the client’s concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest approaches that fit. Together they decide on practical steps and can adjust methods as therapy progresses to match how someone responds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into a busy life. Video allows face-to-face conversation for coaching and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, goal tracking, or timely reminders between sessions. These options help people keep momentum and practice new skills in day-to-day life while working collaboratively with a licensed professional.
