Christine O'Neill , LPC, LCPC

Christine O'Neill is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strain. She brings 18 years of experience and a practical, coaching-oriented approach to sessions. Her work is warm, interactive, and goal-focused to help clients make gradual changes.

She often gives small tasks to try between meetings. This keeps progress steady and lets people practice new skills in real life. Humor is part of her approach and is used to make hard topics feel more manageable.

Christine leans on evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and skills training. She also uses a client-centered stance to follow what matters most to each person. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change.

Many clients find written communication helpful, so she offers live messaging and text-based options in addition to calls. Those formats let people take time to think and respond at their own pace. Video and phone sessions are also available for more conversational work.

She has worked with people on grief, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD and bipolar concerns, career issues, and coping with life changes. Christine is based in Colorado and communicates in English.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their goals, giving space for clients to lead the conversation while the therapist listens and reflects. This works well for building trust and clarifying what a person most wants to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at practical links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it fits common issues like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills that are helpful for anger, intense moods, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is tracked and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for interactive skill practice and face-to-face conversation. Phone calls can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a verbal check-in fits a break at work. Live messaging and text let people write thoughtful responses, spread a conversation across the day, or use shorter check-ins between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different ways of working until the best fit is found.
