About Christine
Christine Badour is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
She has worked with people facing a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, PTSD, impulse control and addiction, and she brings that breadth into individualized treatment planning.
Her background includes roles as a clinical therapist and an intervention specialist, supporting people through career stress, relationship and communication problems, grief, sleep disturbances, and co-occurring issues such as ADHD and substance use.
Her therapeutic stance is warm, engaging, and person-centered, grounded in the belief that clients know themselves best and the therapist's role is to support and collaborate. Christine draws from multiple frameworks to tailor care, including cognitive-behavioral techniques alongside attachment-informed and client-centered perspectives, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based strategies.
She emphasizes compassion, positive regard, and a collaborative alliance aimed at helping people navigate change and move toward meaningful goals. Christine aims to create a supportive environment that feels both encouraging and respectful, and she works with each person to build a plan that fits their needs, values, and life circumstances.
How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care
Christine integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work into her practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them through practical strategies, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and behavioral patterns related to addiction or impulsivity. Attachment-based therapy explores relational patterns formed from early relationships and how they affect current connections and emotional regulation, which is often useful for intimacy concerns, communication problems, and relational stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine partners with clients to clarify goals, review what methods seem most relevant, and adapt interventions over time so the work aligns with personal preferences, values, and life circumstances rather than relying on a single technique.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and follow up between sessions with brief messages when helpful. Working remotely can support consistent progress through formats that meet people where they are while keeping the focus on practical skills and relational insight.
