About Christine
Christine Snead is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience in the mental health field. She centers her work on practical, person-focused care that helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the challenges of daily life. She draws on client-centered methods to build a trusting relationship.
That means listening first, then helping people set goals that matter to them. Christine also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and try different behaviors that lead to better results.
Background and approach
Many people come to her for relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, or career stress. She also supports people facing trauma, addiction, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. ADHD is listed among her areas of focus, and she helps people find strategies to manage attention and organization struggles in day-to-day life.
Christine has worked with issues connected to adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, and communication problems. She has experience with substance use, domestic violence impacts, fertility and loss, and emotional wounds like guilt and shame. Her style is straightforward and supportive.
She helps people try CBT exercises, uses emotion-focused work when relationships are central, and adjusts the approach to fit each person's goals. The aim is to make therapy useful and doable in everyday life.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathic relationship where the person sets the pace and goals; online sessions let that supportive connection continue when in-person visits aren’t possible and are useful for exploring feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes. In remote sessions CBT can include homework, thought records, and step-by-step behavior experiments that are reviewed together by video or messaging.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets the emotional patterns that shape relationships and personal responses. Online EFT sessions can help partners or individuals identify and reframe emotional cycles and practice new interaction habits between sessions.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has worked before, then suggest one or a mix of methods. That plan is revisited and adjusted as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for richer interaction and skills practice, phone works when bandwidth is limited, messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching, and live chat can be used for shorter focused conversations. These options make therapy more flexible for work, caregiving, or travel and let people fit sessions into busy lives.
