About Christine
Christine Abrams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 35 years of clinical experience. She works with people who come with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, parenting worries, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and the wear of everyday life. She also helps with issues such as codependency, attachment and abandonment, ADHD, and coping with chronic illness.
Christine has practiced in community mental health centers, agencies, and college settings. She has managed therapy programs and provided supervision for counselors pursuing licensure. Over her career she has worked with adults from many different backgrounds and life stages.
Her approach starts with listening to what matters most to the client and setting clear priorities together. She uses client-centered methods and family-systems ideas to see concerns in the context of relationships and environment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques are woven in when they fit the goals.
Sessions are active and practical. Christine and the client identify problems, try out options, and track what helps. She often suggests short exercises, books, apps, or creative activities like writing or art to extend the work between meetings.
Because she sees people within their relationships, Christine asks about family patterns and cultural factors that shape behavior. She looks for strengths clients already have and builds from there to develop strategies that feel doable in daily life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working from what matters to the client. Online sessions can still prioritize what the client brings, with the therapist helping set goals and next steps together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; CBT translates well to remote work because homework, worksheets, and short skill practice are easy to share and review during sessions. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus; these exercises can be guided in a session and practiced between meetings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they look at what has helped before and try options that feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use audio-only or video when that suits them. Online work also makes it simpler to review written or creative exercises during a session and to try app-based supports between meetings.
