About Christine

Christine McKenna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Hampshire with four years of professional experience supporting people through addiction, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and major life changes.

Christine approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, honoring each person as the expert of their own story and drawing on the resilience they already possess. She offers compassionate guidance and practical strategies to empower individuals as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life. Whether someone is coping with trauma, working through grief, or seeking support for substance use and related stressors, Christine combines clinical training with a supportive, client-centered stance to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Accessible and straightforward in her work, Christine aims to create a collaborative environment where clients can explore goals, practice new skills, and build confidence to move forward. Her practice emphasizes respect, empowerment, and steady encouragement throughout the therapeutic journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christine integrates evidence-informed methods to meet each person where they are. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take action toward what matters most, even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and reflects the client’s experience to promote personal growth and self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often helping with mood, substance use, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; Christine works with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current needs, and she adjusts the plan over time as progress unfolds. This teamwork helps ensure that therapy feels relevant and usable.

Online therapy with Christine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or changing periods of life and help people access licensed professionals from locations that work for them.
