Christine Abrams, LPC

Christine Abrams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 35 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, parenting strain, relationship problems, trauma, and life changes. Christine aims to build trust first so people feel comfortable sharing what matters most to them.

Her work focuses on the person in their relationships and everyday life. Sessions are practical and interactive. Christine and the client set priorities, try different strategies, and pick tools that fit the person’s preferences and routine.

She blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness ideas. That means clients can expect both careful listening and hands-on techniques to shift thinking and behavior. She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past harm is part of the story.

Christine uses simple, usable resources such as books, apps, writing, or art when those tools help a person practice between sessions. She pays attention to family patterns, attachment concerns, and how chronic health issues or caregiving stress affect daily life.

Over her career she has worked in community mental health centers, agencies, and colleges, and has supervised counselors pursuing licensure. Her approach is collaborative and geared toward tangible steps people can use outside of sessions as they work toward their goals.

How her approaches translate to online work

Christine blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches to help people manage symptoms and build new habits. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s needs so the work fits their life and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and grounding practices that can reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to decide which approaches to try, adjusts what isn’t working, and keeps checking in about goals and preferences. That way the plan changes as needed instead of staying rigid.

If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and allow use of digital tools like therapy apps or shared exercises. Licensed professionals can also guide between-session practice, recommend readings, and use creative activities such as writing or art as homework to support progress.
