Christine Schmitt , LPC, LCPC

Christine Schmitt is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and practices in Kansas and Missouri as an LPC and LCPC. Christine aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people to talk through hard things.

Her style is straightforward and practical. Christine listens first, then works with each person to shape simple steps they can try between sessions. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on building skills for handling tough moments.

She often helps people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, and challenges around control and forgiveness. Christine also supports those coping with life transitions such as divorce, midlife questions, or financial strain. Women’s issues are included among her focus areas.

Sessions address symptoms like mood disorders, social anxiety, and isolation while also looking at root patterns that keep problems repeating. Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s pace and needs. She believes change comes from steady, realistic steps rather than rushed fixes.

People who reach out can expect clear goals and encouragement to try new ways of coping. Christine guides problem solving, helps reframe painful thoughts, and supports practical changes that fit everyday life.

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care

Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach centers on building skills for handling strong emotions and improving communication, which is useful for relationship strain, caregiver stress, and anger around control issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses options with each person, considers their goals, and adjusts methods over time so the plan fits personal needs and preferences. Clients are invited to give feedback and try different strategies until something feels useful.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from wherever they are, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit short check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing contact between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
