About Christian

Christian Geirsson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who brings nine years of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and challenges related to life changes.

Background and approach

He also supports clients dealing with ADHD, bipolar conditions, compassion fatigue, LGBT concerns, and issues that include self-esteem and family dynamics. Christian emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion as core elements of his practice.

He uses a collaborative approach that tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs, drawing on a mix of practical strategies and evidence-informed methods. Sessions focus on developing coping skills, building insight into patterns of thought and behavior, and creating concrete steps toward change.

Christian encourages clients to recognize their strengths and to take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life. Throughout his work he integrates client-centered listening with structured therapeutic tools to help manage mood disorders, panic, attachment-related struggles, and multicultural or identity-related concerns.

His style aims to empower clients while adapting interventions to the unique circumstances and goals presented in therapy.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Christian integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in ways that translate well to online formats. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors through structured exercises, which can help with anxiety, panic, depression, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaborative goal-setting, creating space for clients to explore values and personal strengths while the therapist follows the client’s lead.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when appropriate to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive reactions. The therapist approaches selection of techniques collaboratively, discussing which methods fit a client’s goals and comfort level rather than prescribing a single path.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations within Pennsylvania. This range of formats supports ongoing skill practice, brief check-ins, and full sessions so clients can access care in ways that match their day-to-day needs.
