More about Christine
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York with many years of experience working as an addiction and trauma counselor. I have an MA from NYU in counseling psychology. My experience also includes working with individuals who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse including PTSD symptomology. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, chemical addiction issues, as well as individuals who have OCD, autism, and a wide variety of personality disorders such as bipolar and borderline.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, genuineness, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavior therapy with humanistic (person-centered) and psychodynamic features. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
