About Christine
Christine O'Connor is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and depression. She brings 27 years of experience and a calm, steady presence to sessions. She encourages clients to notice their strengths and take small, doable steps toward change.
She begins by listening to each person's story and priorities. Sessions are collaborative - she asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set clear goals. She focuses on practical tools that can be used between meetings to manage emotions, cope with cravings, and reduce overwhelm.
Over time she helps people work through relationship and intimacy concerns, codependency, and difficult life transitions. Christine also supports those dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. She frames problems as linked patterns and looks for ways clients can try new behaviors and notice what changes.
Her approach is straightforward and respectful. She offers guidance while leaving room for each person’s values and pace. Progress often comes from repeated practice of small skills and checking in on how those skills fit daily life.
People who choose her often want a therapist who listens closely and helps them turn insight into action. She supports clients as they try new ways of coping and build on what already works for them.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and clear goals. One commonly used approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns and testing new behaviors in everyday life; this helps with anxiety, codependency, and relationship issues by turning insight into action. Another common technique centers on learning emotion-regulation and grounding skills that reduce overwhelm during difficult moments, useful for trauma, grief, and stress-related problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to identify what seems most useful based on their needs and goals. She combines listening with a plan for small experiments and skill practice so clients can see what fits their life.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and keep momentum between appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce the time burden of attending in-person meetings.
