About Christine
Christine Dicus is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, person-centered help. She uses straightforward conversation and goal-focused work to address daily stress, anger, anxiety, and other concerns. Christine keeps sessions simple and collaborative so people can make steady progress.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build trust and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is used to boost commitment when someone feels stuck.
Background and approach
These approaches guide short- and long-term plans rather than one-size-fits-all scripts. Christine has six years as an LCSW working in Missouri. Her background includes residential programs, jail and prison settings, and office-based care.
That range shaped a flexible style that adapts to a person’s life and routines. She is used to helping people who face trauma, addiction, and major life changes. Her focus areas include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and anger.
She also addresses adoption and foster care, attachment issues, process and sex addictions, first responder issues, women’s and young adult concerns, and LGBT topics. Christine works with each person to set a meeting rhythm that supports self-care and steady progress. Sessions are scheduled to fit evenings and weekends when possible.
Christine prefers weekly meetings at first to build momentum and then adjusts frequency as goals are met. She values teamwork with each person to create practical next steps and realistic coping skills.

How Christine’s approaches work online
Christine uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a collaborative space where the person’s goals lead the work; this approach focuses on listening, validation, and working from each person’s strengths.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems like anxiety, anger, or depression going. CBT supports concrete tools and small experiments people can try between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels unsure about change; it helps clarify values and increase motivation in a respectful, nonjudgmental way.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine works together with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and pace. She checks in periodically and adjusts methods as progress or new challenges arise.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief updates, coaching-style feedback, and ongoing contact between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
