Christine Abrams is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with 35 years of clinical experience. She has provided therapy in community mental health centers, agencies, and college settings, and has managed therapy programs while supervising counselors pursuing professional licensure.
Over the course of her career she has worked with people of all ages and backgrounds, addressing concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflicts, parenting challenges, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. She views these challenges as opportunities for growth and collaborates with clients to pursue meaningful change.
Her therapeutic approach is rooted in client-centered and family systems perspectives, with integration of cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. Christine practices active, individualized therapy: she and a client discuss concerns, set priorities, and work together to reach goals. She often offers a range of options tailored to each person’s needs and interests, including recommended books, useful apps, or creative activities such as art or writing.
Because much of her training emphasizes family-focused work, Christine considers people in the context of their relationships, environment, and culture, and she routinely explores those areas to identify strengths that can be applied to current concerns. She looks forward to supporting clients as they develop practical strategies and make progress toward their goals.
Many people wonder whether virtual therapy truly helps. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions - research and clinical experience indicate that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is flexibility. People can connect with their therapist in the format that works best for them - video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Licensed professionals deliver care through these options, and clients have the ability to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be helpful. Online therapy offers a convenient way to access skilled therapists while maintaining the same focus on effective, evidence-informed approaches to common mental health concerns.
