About Christine
Christine Abrams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 35 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, trauma, addiction, grief, anger, and challenges such as ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She brings a long history of work in community mental health centers, agencies, and college settings, and has overseen therapy programs and supervised counselors pursuing licensure. Her background supports a flexible approach tailored to a wide range of life difficulties and transitions.
Her work emphasizes a collaborative, active style that centers the client's perspective while also considering family and relational contexts. Christine draws from client-centered and family systems ideas while integrating cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices; interventions are chosen to fit each person’s needs, interests, and goals.
She often offers practical tools, reading suggestions, apps, or creative activities such as writing or art to expand options between sessions. Christine focuses on identifying strengths in a person’s relationships, environment, and culture and applying those resources to current concerns.
She aims to help clients develop concrete strategies, build resilience, and make meaningful progress toward their priorities.
Online Approaches for Practical Change
Christine uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop concrete skills for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or difficulties with impulse control. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and homework to apply new strategies between appointments.She also draws on client-centered techniques that emphasize listening, empathy, and collaboration so the client’s goals guide the pace and focus of work. This approach helps create space to explore values, strengthen self-understanding, and build motivation for change.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Christine will work with each person to determine which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can make ongoing care more flexible and accessible for people managing busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic barriers. These formats allow for regular check-ins, brief skill coaching, and opportunities to practice tools in real-life contexts while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
