Christanne Brunner is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and issues related to LGBT identity. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her approach is down-to-earth and aims to make talking about worries easier.

For relationship concerns she integrates Gottman Method techniques to improve communication and reduce repeated fights. Those skills are offered alongside tools for grief, parenting strain, workplace stress, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem struggles. Gender dysphoria and other LGBT issues are also listed areas of focus.

Sessions are practical and collaborative. Christanne helps clients set short-term goals and checks progress each step of the way. She encourages skill practice between sessions so people can see real changes in how they handle stress and conflict.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connects people with her based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Christanne commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thoughts that increase stress or anxiety and then try different responses. This approach is helpful for mood shifts, worry, and improving daily routines.

She also uses the Gottman Method to teach communication skills and reduce repetitive conflicts in relationships. Those tools focus on clear listening, gentle repair attempts after fights, and rebuilding trust through small, practical actions.

Solution-Focused Therapy appears in sessions as brief goal-setting and tracking small changes that lead to bigger improvements. It works well when someone wants fast, actionable steps to address a specific problem.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences, then tailor methods together. Over the first few sessions she checks what helps and adapts the plan so sessions remain useful and relevant.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for teaching skills and role-play. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when less bandwidth is available. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or shorter progress updates between longer sessions.
