Mary "Christine" Lawson, LPC-MHSP

Mary "Christine" Lawson is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood challenges, trauma, and life changes. Christine speaks English and French and uses straightforward, caring language in sessions.

She draws on seven years of clinical experience to tailor plans to each person's needs. Sessions emphasize practical skills for coping with depression, bipolar mood swings, ADHD, grief, relationship and family concerns, and caregiving strain. Christine also addresses issues such as chronic illness, codependency, eating and sleeping difficulties, and problems that come from past attachment wounds.

Her work includes evidence-informed methods that help people identify patterns, build new habits, and regain a sense of control. That can mean learning thought and behavior tools, practicing emotion regulation skills, or setting small goals that add up over time. Progress is tracked in simple, measurable steps so people can see what’s changing.

Christine aims to make therapy a collaborative effort. She listens first, then helps create a clear plan tied to each person’s goals. People who want coaching around career moves, parenting challenges, or compassion fatigue will find that practical focus woven into the therapeutic work.

If someone is ready to begin, they can start by using the site process to match and schedule a first session. The early appointments focus on what matters most now and on building doable strategies for everyday life.

Approaches that fit online work and life

Christine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy among other methods. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change the actions that follow, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills, which can help with overwhelming emotions, self-destructive patterns, and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will listen to a person’s history, goals, and daily constraints, then suggest methods to try. She treats the choice as collaborative and adjusts the plan as progress and preferences become clear.

If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the exact formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use tools and worksheets in the moment, practice skills between meetings, and keep therapy focused on concrete goals and steps.
