Christine Neurauter , LCSW

Christine Neurauter is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people navigate grief, trauma, stress, and other heavy life challenges. She introduces calm, steady attention and listens closely so clients feel heard. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at finding what helps each person move forward.

She has worked in hospice, crisis services, special education, community mental health, and children protective services. That background shaped her comfort with grief, end-of-life concerns, and urgent situations. Christine has experience supporting people through self-harm, post-traumatic stress, and process addictions such as gambling or compulsive behaviors.

Christine uses straightforward tools drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness practices. She helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and notice what calms them in the moment. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques come into play when clients want clear steps toward change.

She also supports issues related to caregiving stress, multicultural concerns, first responder experiences, and LGBT matters. Christine pays attention to life context and practical barriers when planning next steps with a person.

Sessions tend to focus on what a client wants to accomplish now and on building small skills to manage symptoms. Christine aims to help people reconnect with their strengths and clarify purpose after loss or change. She works from Colorado and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Christine often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating an open space where the person's experience is heard first and the therapist follows their lead. This method is useful for people coping with grief, trauma, or feeling overwhelmed and uncertain.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT helps people identify patterns that increase distress and practice small behavior changes that reduce symptoms over time. Mindfulness techniques are sometimes layered in to teach grounding and present-moment awareness during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine works with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging works well for short updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily routines while staying connected with a licensed professional.
