About Christine

Christine Nazario is an Illinois-licensed clinician (LCPC) with 22 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, and depression.

Background and approach

She draws on a client-centered foundation that treats each person as the expert of their own story while offering practical tools and strategies to move toward greater functioning and well-being. Christine values courage and collaboration, meeting clients where they are and helping them build on their existing strengths.

Her approach blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with empathic, person-focused care. Christine also brings experience working with hearing impaired clients and providing hospice and end-of-life counseling, tailoring her communication and interventions to each person’s needs.

She aims to create a supportive space for people confronting painful loss, persistent worry, or self-doubt and to help them discover realistic steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Christine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and modify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy is central to her work as well, emphasizing empathetic listening and collaboration so that the client’s priorities and lived experience guide the pace and content of sessions.

These methods are explored together with each client to determine what feels most helpful; Christine approaches treatment as a shared process, adjusting strategies based on a person’s goals, preferences, and responses to therapy. That collaborative stance helps ensure interventions align with real-life needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to fit steady therapeutic work into busy lives, offer options for different comfort levels with remote interaction, and support ongoing access when in-person meetings are not practical.
