Christine Snead , LPC

Christine Snead is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience in the mental health field. She centers sessions on what each person brings and uses straightforward strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles.

She earned her master’s degree from Auburn University and has spent years helping people navigate difficult life changes. Christine draws from client-centered care alongside practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and emotionally-focused work to address emotions and patterns that get in the way.

In sessions she listens for the problems that cause the most strain and helps people set small, clear goals. That can mean building new ways to respond to anxiety, practicing different communication skills, or creating step-by-step plans for career or parenting challenges. Her approach aims to make ideas usable in daily life rather than abstract concepts.

Christine also supports people facing grief, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She has additional experience with adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, fertility and caregiver stress, and challenges related to domestic violence or substance use.

Clients can expect a calm, practical tone and a focus on what to try between sessions. Christine works with people in Alabama and with international clients, and she offers several online session formats to fit different schedules and situations.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel understood and decide what changes matter most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors that keep problems alive and teaches practical skills to shift them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people notice and work with strong emotions and the ways those emotions shape relationships and choices. It can be useful for improving connection and addressing intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client's goals, needs, and preferences. She may mix ideas from different approaches and adjust techniques as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let therapists see nonverbal cues and support fuller conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ways to share thoughts between sessions or when writing feels easier. These options help people connect from different places and schedules while keeping therapy practical and manageable.
