Christine Abrams

Christine Abrams is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with 35 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and life transitions like divorce and separation. She also supports those struggling with parenting, relationship strain, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and anger.

Christine offers straightforward, practical therapy. Sessions focus on the concerns you bring and on setting clear, reachable goals. She uses short exercises, discussions, and tools you can try between meetings to make steady progress.

Her background includes work in community mental health centers, agencies, and college settings. She has managed therapy programs and supervised counselors during their path to licensure. That experience informs a calm, experienced approach to care.

Therapy here blends client-centered listening with ideas from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness therapies. Sessions are active and collaborative. Christine often suggests books, apps, writing, or art activities chosen to match each person’s interests.

Because much of her work has focused on relationships and family contexts, she pays attention to how your environment and connections affect your concerns. She looks for practical strengths you already have and helps you apply them to current problems. Her style is warm, goal-oriented, and paced to each person’s needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist offers a nonjudgmental space where your concerns guide the work and goals are set together. This approach helps with feelings of isolation, low self-esteem, and relationship stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Christine uses simple exercises and practical strategies to change unhelpful habits and coping patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. You and the therapist make adjustments as you go to find what helps most.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to use digital tools, apps, and written exercises between sessions to support progress.
