About Christianne

Christianne Griffin is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with 24 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strains, family concerns, and relationship challenges. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, and career or life-change issues.

She uses practical conversations to untangle daily pressures. Sessions focus on what is happening now at home and work. Christianne helps people spot patterns, try small changes, and notice what works. She avoids jargon and keeps steps simple so busy adults can use them between appointments.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand relationship patterns that show up with partners or family. Emotion-focused work helps when feelings are intense and need naming or regulation.

Christianne works with a broad range of concerns that include ADHD, bipolar mood issues, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to adoption and blended families. She also addresses body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication difficulties. These topics often overlap in real life, and she helps people sort them into manageable steps.

Sessions are straightforward and client-centered. People who come to her usually leave with clear next steps and tools to try between meetings. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used before scheduling a first session so practical needs and goals can be clarified.

How sessions work

How Christianne’s approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. It works well for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape responses to conflict and closeness; it can help adults understand recurring problems in family relationships.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about current goals and symptoms, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That way the methods match the person's needs rather than the other way around.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around parenting and work demands, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about the subscription model and how sessions are scheduled so you can plan therapy around everyday life.
