More about Christine
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- LMSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Michigan with over 4 years of experience working as a clinical therapist and intervention specialist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, panic disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, communication concerns, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, career challenges, ADHD, trauma, and PTSD. I also have helped many people who struggle with addiction including, but not limited to, substance use.
My therapy style is warm, engaging, and person-centered. I believe you are the expert on yourself and my role in this therapeutic relationship is to support you. Each client has their own individual characteristics and I utilize a variety of approaches to tailor a unique plan with each client. My practice theories include; cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness, strength-based, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, attachment theory, and didactic.
The approach I take towards the therapeutic relationship is heavy with compassion, supportive like a friendship, filled to the brim with positive regard for you, and desire for you achieve the absolute best things out of life.
"Compassion is not a relationship between a healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our darkness well, can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity." -- Pema Chödrön
I am here to support and encourage you. I look forward to working together!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Christine is a very supportive and empathetic therapist
My therapist is the most loving and supportive person ♥️
Christine is very empathetic and has a balanced approach to my mental needs.
Christine has helped me through so many life events and changes. She has truly been a cheerleader of my journey. Every single session she offers humanity, compassion and insight. I have never felt judged and always heard. I’m a better person because of Christine! ❤️
Christine is amazing. She’s a great listener, personable, and really understands my issues. she checks in regularly and makes talking about my issues like a conversation with a friend. She has great feedback and gives thought provoking responses, as well as amazing methods to navigate your issues.
I’ve been working with Christine in and off for almost two years and there is never another therapist that I could imagine I would trust and open up to as much as I have with her. Her ability to listen, relate, and advise is amazing. She made me feel strong enough to finally do what I needed for myself in life.
Christine is the best therapist I have had ever period. Throughout my therapy experience I’ve jumped between multiple bad for me fits with therapist, which is understandable people have unique needs, however, the Betterhelp algorithm matched me with Christine and it’s been great since. Not only do I feel like my therapy has been good for myself personally, but also my relationships with others. Christine is accommodating in more ways than one, a rescheduling, a less intensive session, a change in type of session, and multiple other adaptations that no other therapist has offered me. Absolutely can not recommend her enough!
Sensitive, attentive, supportive and offers useful suggestions for moving forward
Christine is truly wonderful. She is a fantastic listener with nothing but great advice, and real tactile strategies towards bettering yourself.
Christine is kind and helpful. It is difficult to get started with a new therapist, but she makes the transition comfortable by being fully present in conversation and taking time to truly understand what brought you to her. I have been with Christine for 6+ months and I am very happy with the therapeutic relationship that we have built. She is kind, supportive, and always has my best interest in mind. My voice is truly heard in our sessions. Thank you Christine!
Christine is the perfect therapist. It took me a few tries to find the right one, but Christine is the perfect mix of tough love and like a professional friend. She understands me and how I work and helps me to make goals that are obtainable. She also is very flexible to my ever-changing schedule
Christine is amazing. She listens to what I have to say and offers feedback. She gives me tools to help with my anxiety and relationship concerns
Christine has made therapy very easy for me and is a big help. I was worried about therapy but I feel so much better about it.
Christine is the best therapist I have ever worked with. I saw a few other therapists and never felt like they held space or listened to my concerns quite in the way she has. Her person centered approach, and continuous support between sessions has helped me manage many life changes in a positive way. I will keep using betterhelp as long as she is a therapist here because of her!
Christine has been wonderful for both my partner and myself. She had really gone above and beyond to make us feel cared for, understood, and she had provided wonderful treatment for our unique needs. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs treatment. :)
Christine is a blessing
Christine is absolutely amazing, openminded, and easy to talk to. She makes me feel very comfortable and supported, and like I can open up and talk with her about anything I want to work on. Not only that, she gives me many tools and possible solutions to issues that I see I'm having, and also helps me recognize things I had never seen about myself before. She is wonderful!
One of the best therapist I ever had! She makes me feel so comfortable like I’m talking to a long time friend while also getting therapy I need ♥️
Christine is amazing!
Christine Badour has a remarkable ability to sense what a person needs to hear and to understand what motivates a person, this without ever meeting that person live. I recommend her wholeheartedly.
Christine helped me navigate through a challenging time in my life. She was a great listener & it felt like I was talking to a friend. I felt supported and uplifted by her after every session!
More reliable platform and app would be an improvement. It’s had some recent issues.
Christine is truly amazing! She gives me a different perspective on things and have continued to support & help me. And this app is also GOD-SENT!
I have little experience of therapy but I do appreciate friendship and respect, both of which I get plentifully from Christine. If I need advice on behavior or feelings, I know I will get solid responses from her and moreover, it will be fun to talk to her.
She is great and she is helping me with everything I need
She is very patient, listens and understands what I need and offer suggestions to help me more than I expected.
Christine has helped me so much in a short time. Her ability to get me to look at things from a different point of view and understand is amazing. She immediately calms your nerves and insecurities, whatever they may be. She treats you like a friend and really understands you from the start.
She’s fantastic
This is my first time with a therapist and I heard a lot of things about you don’t always find one that will help right away. I really wasn’t sure how to know if my therapist was a good one because I have never had one. After a couple weeks talking with Christine I really understand a good therapist. The clarity in my life is beyond mind blowing. I really appreciate her and I am seeing so much progress in my life. 10 out of 10 for sure.
