About Christine
Christine Cocchia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strains, trauma and abuse, and family-related concerns. Christine also lists codependency among her focus areas and addresses issues like caregiver stress, attachment, and isolation.
Her way of working centers on person-centered therapy. Christine treats people as the experts on their lives and listens closely to what matters to them. Sessions aim to clarify goals, name patterns that cause pain, and try small, practical changes that fit day-to-day life.
Christine draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques when helpful. That often means noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing different responses. She also uses mindfulness tools to help lower anxiety and increase moment-to-moment awareness.
In sessions she emphasizes cooperation and clear steps. Clients can expect conversations that move from identifying problems to planning manageable actions. Work can include role-playing to practice saying no, setting limits with others, or changing stressed thinking.

How sessions work
Approaches used and how online work is handled
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting your goals. The therapist treats you as the expert on your life and helps clarify what you want to change and why those changes matter.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tests small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to bring attention to the present moment and calm persistent worry or rumination. These skills can be used between sessions to manage stress and strong feelings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will work with each client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in over time and adjusts strategies based on how things are going.
