About Christine
Christine Ryan is a licensed professional counselor with four decades of clinical experience. She practices as an LPC and brings long experience helping people cope with major life stresses. Christine blends counseling and coaching skills to focus on practical next steps for change.
Her work is direct and solution-minded. Christine listens to what brought a person in and then looks at how those events affect daily choices and feelings. From there she helps shape concrete options for moving forward, so clients leave with clear first steps rather than only insight.
Background and approach
Christine has worked across hospital, community mental health, and independent practice settings, and she draws on that varied background when people face complex problems. Her experience includes grief, relationship strain, anxiety, depression, caregiver stress, parenting challenges, career shifts, and anger. She also supports people navigating chronic illness and major life transitions.
Her clinical approach uses client-centered conversation alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy methods. That mix lets Christine combine listening and understanding with practical tools and short-term goal work. Sessions tend to focus on identifying patterns, testing small changes, and tracking results.
People who choose Christine often want a collaborative partner who asks clear questions and helps set realistic goals. She encourages steady progress through small, manageable steps. Christine aims to help clients find direction, regain balance, and take actions that fit their lives.

How Christine’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, asking open questions, and supporting the client’s own goals and values so they can figure out what feels right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps and on what will look different when things improve, making it useful for people who want quick, practical change.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals, then suggest one or a mix of approaches to try. Together they monitor progress and adjust methods if something isn’t helping, so therapy stays aligned with the client’s priorities.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, note-taking, or steady support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum during life transitions.
