About Christine

Christine Snead is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who brings 15 years of experience to her work supporting adults through life transitions and emotional challenges. She emphasizes cognitive behavioral therapy as a central tool, helping clients examine and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors.

Background and approach

Christine combines this approach with client-centered techniques to create a collaborative, empathic space where clients’ goals steer the process. Her practice focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and relationship or family difficulties.

She also addresses career concerns, parenting and blended family stressors, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and more specialized matters such as adoption and foster care, fertility issues, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. Christine draws on evidence-informed methods and practical problem solving to help people develop coping strategies and regain balance.

Based in Alabama, she accepts international clients and works in English. Her approach blends structured interventions with warm, client-centered support to help people move toward the changes they want to make.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches into Online Care

Christine uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and experiment with new behaviors; this practical, skills-based approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and aligning the work with each person’s own goals to support personal growth and change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs and preferences. Together they will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, to access therapy from different locations, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for each person.
