Christine Sande , LCMHC

Christine Sande is a licensed clinical mental health counselor practicing in North Carolina. She has three years of professional experience and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction issues, trauma, anger, and mood concerns. She speaks English and Italian and aims to offer straightforward, respectful support.

Christine focuses on practical conversations that help people find clearer next steps. She adapts sessions to each person’s needs and helps clients weigh options when life feels overwhelming. Typical topics include grief, relationship struggles, body image, parenting strain, and career stress.

Her approach centers on listening first and shaping a plan that fits each client. Sessions often look at coping tools for day-to-day life, ways to manage intense emotions, and strategies to reduce substance use or addictive behaviors. She also addresses communication problems, codependency, and patterns that keep people stuck.

Christine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on trauma, ADHD, and bipolar-related challenges. She helps people build routines, set boundaries, and practice skills between sessions. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Many clients come with questions about life purpose, loneliness, or major changes like divorce and blended family dynamics. Christine offers plainspoken guidance and a calm presence while people sort through these issues. Starting therapy is presented as a step toward clearer choices and better daily coping.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on stress, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and mood challenges. One common approach focuses on teaching concrete coping skills to manage anxiety and overwhelming emotions, offering step-by-step tools people can practice between sessions. Another approach concentrates on trauma-informed strategies that help people process difficult memories and reduce their day-to-day reactivity, often by building grounding and safety routines. These methods are presented in simple, actionable ways so clients know what to try at home.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christine collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts strategies over time and checks in about what’s working so progress is practical and individualized.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can work well for quick updates, brief support between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
