About Christine

Christine Stelzer is a licensed professional counselor with 26 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career concerns, and ADHD-related struggles. Christine aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful.

She speaks plainly and meets people where they are. Christine uses a person-centered style that keeps sessions grounded and approachable. She listens first, then helps clients set small, useful goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.

Background and approach

Mindfulness techniques are offered to help calm the body and steady attention. Her approach is collaborative. Christine and a client build a plan together and adjust it as life changes.

She tailors conversations and strategies to each person's needs rather than using the same plan for everyone. Christine has worked across many concerns including grief, relationship and intimacy issues, sleeping problems, compassion fatigue, and workplace stress. She also supports people dealing with prejudice and multicultural concerns, LGBT-related issues, and aging or caregiver stress.

Sessions focus on clear steps people can use between meetings - simple practices, thought exercises, and mindfulness skills. Christine encourages small experiments so clients can see what helps in real life. She strives to keep sessions practical and hopeful.

How Christine’s Approach Fits Online Therapy

Christine uses client-centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness in an online format. Client-centered work means she listens closely and adapts the session to what matters most to the client, which helps when concerns change between appointments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see what improves daily life. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Christine will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress or new challenges appear. She encourages clients to give feedback so the work stays relevant and useful. Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
