Christine Abrams, LPC

Christine Abrams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with more than 35 years of clinical experience. She has provided counseling across community mental health centers, agencies, and college settings, and has overseen therapy programs while supervising clinicians pursuing licensure. Her broad background includes work with individuals of all ages and life stages, addressing concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, parenting issues, addictions, trauma, grief, anger, and difficulties with self-esteem and life transitions.

Her approach is grounded in client-centered and family systems perspectives, with integration of cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to make therapy active and tailored to each person. Christine collaborates with clients to identify priorities, generate options, and pursue practical goals. She often incorporates tools like books, apps, and creative activities such as art or writing when those methods align with a client’s interests and needs. Because much of her training emphasizes family work, she considers individuals in the context of their relationships, environment, and culture, seeking strengths that can be applied to current concerns.

Christine aims to help clients develop effective strategies for coping and growth, and she looks forward to partnering with people as they make positive changes in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christine Abrams draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, respectful environment where the client’s goals and perspectives guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, building trust, and helping people find their own solutions to issues like relationships, life transitions, and self-esteem.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-oriented, often useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Christine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other commitments while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor treatment to individual concerns.
