About Christina
Christina Bachenberg is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with 12 years of counseling experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, navigate family concerns, and cope with depression and life changes. Christina also supports work on self-esteem and motivation.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what’s getting in the way. Sessions focus on the problem at hand and on small, practical steps that fit daily life. Christina draws on Client-Centered methods to listen for what matters most to each person and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.
Emotionally-Focused techniques are used to look at feelings and the patterns they create. Motivational Interviewing can help when someone feels stuck and unsure how to move forward. Solution-Focused ideas are brought in to build concrete plans and measure progress.
Christina commonly works with people dealing with communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. She also has experience with panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive concerns, body image, trichotillomania, and social anxiety.
Her style is direct and practical. She aims to clarify goals, test small changes, and adjust the plan as needed. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and any details they need about format and cost.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s concerns. Online sessions using this approach focus on understanding what matters most and letting the client set priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tries practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns. In an online format CBT often uses brief exercises and between-session tasks to test new ways of responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and then adjusting based on what helps most.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people choose remote work because it can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel so therapy can fit into a busy day. The focus remains on practical steps, clear goals, and routines that can be used between sessions to build momentum.
