Christine O'Connor , LCSW

Christine O'Connor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 27 years of experience based in New Hampshire. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, and issues around intimacy and relationships. She also supports people managing work strain, parenting challenges, and attention differences like ADHD.

Christine uses straightforward conversation to map what feels hard and what already works for each person. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on practical steps that fit day-to-day routines. Sessions are aimed at reducing overwhelm and building steady coping skills.

Her approach blends evidence-based techniques with a calm, steady presence. Christine draws on interventions that are shown to help with mood, trauma recovery, and habit change while tailoring work to each person's needs. She checks in about goals and adjusts plans as progress is made.

Clients often come for help with grief, addiction recovery, body image and eating concerns, chronic illness, or caregiver stress. She also addresses relationship and communication problems, commitment worries, and career-related anxiety. Her practice includes attention to burnout and compassion fatigue.

Christine offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. She works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and recovery. One common approach she relies on teaches skills to manage anxiety and mood through structured practice and step-by-step behavior changes; it helps people reduce overwhelm and build steady routines. Another approach she draws on targets trauma and stress by helping people process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable, while also strengthening coping resources for daily life.

Finding the right method is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and comfort level. That means checking in about what feels helpful, adjusting the plan over time, and combining approaches when that makes sense.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this style of work. Video calls allow visual connection for deeper exchange, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule, handle sudden setbacks, and keep progress moving forward.
