Christine O'Neill, LPC, LCPC

Christine O'Neill is a therapist who focuses on supporting people as they make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives. Throughout a 17 year career she has worked with diverse populations across a range of challenges and has found that many people already know the direction they want to head - they often only need a catalyst and a clear plan to get there. She blends therapeutic work with coaching techniques, frequently assigning small, practical tasks for clients to try between sessions to build momentum toward their goals.

Her counseling style is warm, interactive, and goal-oriented, with a dose of humor used thoughtfully to bring perspective to difficult situations and to remind clients that room for laughter can exist even during hard times. Christine has extensive experience with mood disorders, teen issues, addictions, life transitions, divorce, and family dynamics, and she often works with clients on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. She also integrates approaches suitable for trauma, grief, parenting, ADHD, and other complex life stressors.

Christine holds LPC and LCPC credentials - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - reflecting formal training in clinical counseling. She tends to favor messaging and live messaging therapy because it gives clients extra time to consider their responses and to absorb feedback thoughtfully. She welcomes inquiries and looks forward to supporting people who are ready to move toward a more fulfilled life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Christine O'Neill

Christine uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the client's own goals and values guide the work - this approach helps people clarify what matters most and build confidence in making decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is especially useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or stress. Christine also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - techniques when emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, or coping with intense feelings are central concerns, offering practical skills for handling crises and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine works together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy remains focused and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit care into a busy life or connect from another location. These options let clients choose the format that best supports their communication style and availability while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor the work to each person's circumstances.
