About Christianne

Christianne Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 24 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, family and relationship problems, and codependency. She also addresses parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues such as sleep or eating difficulties.

Her style is direct and person-focused. Christianne uses clear tools from therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns. She also draws on attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas when relationships are central to the concern.

Sessions are practical and aimed at small, usable shifts. She can help with skills for managing anxiety, planning steps to set boundaries, and ways to respond differently to recurring relationship patterns. Work may include short exercises, noticing thoughts and behaviors, and tracking progress between meetings.

Christianne also supports people facing longer-term or layered issues such as bipolar disorder, caregiving stress, chronic illness, or past abandonment and attachment wounds. She brings experience with diverse concerns including ADHD, body image, and communication problems.

Clients should expect a collaborative pace. The approach balances problem-solving with attention to feelings, and it can include coaching-style work for practical life changes. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

The work often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with values, which helps with anxiety, avoidance, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, which can clarify why certain relationship behaviors repeat.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christianne will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and how to combine techniques over time. That plan can change as goals shift or new issues arise.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy routine and making it easier to keep regular appointments. If you need to check in more quickly or prefer a shorter session during a work break, confirm what formats are available before booking. Also confirm current session options before scheduling to make sure they match your needs and daily life.
