About Christine
Christine Toler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and trauma-related concerns.
Background and approach
She draws on ten years of professional experience and a lifelong personal engagement with therapy to guide clients toward practical, behavior-focused changes that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Toler emphasizes a nonjudgmental, solution-oriented stance that moves beyond simply understanding problems to taking concrete steps that foster lasting change.
Her practice integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-informed techniques alongside trauma-focused work to address patterns such as compulsions, panic, attachment wounds, communication breakdowns, and emotional regulation difficulties. She is open about her own history as a therapy client, and that perspective informs a collaborative, transparent approach.
Clients can expect a focus on attainable goals, skills practice, and compassionate accountability tailored to their situation. Christine maintains professional licensure and offers sessions through a variety of online formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences.
Practical Approaches for Online Recovery and Resilience
Christine integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into online work, using each method in straightforward, skills-based ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, compulsions, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and breath- or body-based practices that help people manage stress, increase emotional regulation, and respond more calmly to difficult situations.Choosing the right approach is collaborative; she will work with clients to determine which combination of strategies fits their goals, values, and current challenges. That process often begins with exploring immediate concerns, setting practical goals, and trying techniques in-session and between sessions to see what produces meaningful change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit consistent work into busy lives. These options allow clients to practice new skills in their everyday environment and maintain continuity of care when meeting in person is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to each format so therapy remains interactive and goal oriented.
