About Christine

Christine Snead is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years in the mental health field. She focuses on straightforward, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship challenges. She welcomes conversations about parenting, addictions, career strain, LGBT concerns, and issues related to intellectual disability. Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build trust and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when relationship and intimacy issues are part of the struggle. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than academic. Clients can expect clear, simple tools to try between sessions. Christine uses strategies like behavior experiments, coping skills practice, and guided reflection to make small changes that add up. She also offers coaching-style support for people facing career transitions or caregiving stress. Her background includes a master’s degree from Auburn University and many years working directly with people in clinical settings. That experience shaped a practical style that focuses on what helps now and what can be sustained over time. Sessions are offered in English and she is available to work with international clients. People ready to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to therapist availability.

Step 3

How Christine’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space where people can say what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and decide what goals matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change patterns that worsen anxiety, depression, or stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and respond to deeper emotions in relationships and can be useful for intimacy or attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. That plan can be adjusted as themes and priorities become clearer during sessions.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats use less bandwidth or let people participate without video, which can help during a quick break or when camera use is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and Client-Centered techniques online to teach coping skills, run behavior experiments, and guide relationship work remotely.
