Christina Garry , LPC

Christina Garry is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, mood concerns, and problems related to relationships and work. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, sleep trouble, low self-esteem, and issues tied to caregiving and aging.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She treats people with respect and sensitivity and views each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions are shaped around the client's goals and what gets in the way of living the life they want.

Christina uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy alongside a client-centered approach. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, while also listening closely and following the client's lead. She adapts techniques to fit the situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

In sessions she helps people set clear, manageable steps for change. She offers coaching-style guidance for career and workplace concerns, and coping strategies for compassion fatigue and isolation. She also addresses women’s issues as part of broader life and mood concerns.

People who choose her can expect a calm, steady presence and focused, usable ideas to try between sessions. Christina encourages small experiments, practical skills, and regular check-ins to track progress and adjust the plan as needed.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy in her online work means she listens closely and follows the client's priorities. Sessions focus on what matters to the person and adapt to their pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. CBT techniques are practical and easy to practice between sessions, which helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and workplace stress.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. She will discuss goals, try tools, and adjust methods together so therapy fits the client's needs and preferences. That collaborative plan can shift over time as progress and challenges appear.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and face-to-face feel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be a shorter way to check progress, practice skills, or send quick updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical steps and skills.
