More about Christine
- 23 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
My name is Christine. I am an Independent Clinical Social Worker licensed in Minnesota with 23 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have worked with clients to support growth in a wide range of areas including depression, anxiety, relationships, parenting challenges, adjustments in life, and trauma.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. My approach is very integrative pulling from different styles of therapeutic intervention to fit uniquely to each individual. I commonly incorporate a variety of modalities: cognitive-behavioral, experiential, structural, and internal family systems. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and joy filled life and to begin the process towards change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
