Christine Abrams , LPC

Christine Abrams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and trauma. She brings 35 years of clinical experience and a steady, practical style to sessions. Her approach aims to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Christine writes short-term and longer-term goals with each person she sees.

Christine draws on client-centered methods and family systems thinking to understand a person in their relationships and environment. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness to teach skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Sessions are active and collaborative - people set priorities, try strategies, and review what works.

Her practice often includes concrete tools. She suggests exercises, readings, apps, or creative tasks like writing or art when those match a person’s needs. These tools are chosen to fit each person, not as one-size-fits-all solutions.

Over three decades Christine has worked in community mental health centers, agencies, and colleges. She has managed programs and supervised counselors pursuing licensure. That background shapes a practical, results-focused style while still valuing each person’s story.

People come to Christine for many concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including grief, addiction, compassion fatigue, ADHD, parenting and family issues, chronic illness, and questions about life purpose. She helps people identify strengths and build steps forward.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Christine uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person’s perspective, and building goals together; it helps when someone needs acceptance and a clear plan. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine will collaborate with each person to identify their goals and try methods that match those goals and preferences. If an approach isn’t working, she helps adjust the plan or add new tools until the work feels useful.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, day-to-day coping, or times when writing helps organize thoughts. These options offer flexibility, letting people access therapy in ways that fit their routines and needs.
