About Christine

Christine O'Neill is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Colorado with 18 years of experience. She focuses on common household and parenting strains such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, parenting, grief, and coping with life changes. Her work also covers mood disorders, self-esteem, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues.

Christine approaches work in a direct, practical way. She leans toward a coaching style and gives short, doable tasks to try between meetings. She uses humor to help people see difficult situations more clearly and to break up heavy moments. Sessions tend to be interactive and goal oriented rather than just talk without action.

Clients can expect conversations that move toward specific changes. Christine often encourages experimenting with new habits and communication techniques. She offers feedback and concrete suggestions rather than only listening silently. Progress is measured by small shifts that add up over time.

Her background includes many years working with people facing addictions, divorce and separation, blended family issues, and caregiver stress. She has experience supporting those dealing with chronic illness, body image and attachment concerns. That range informs a practical approach to everyday family pressures and parenting strains.

Christine speaks English and accepts international clients. The typical first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How Christine uses online approaches and therapeutic methods

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person as they name what matters. It helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings and priorities and wants a therapist who follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings connect. It is useful for worry, low mood, sleep problems, and breaking unhelpful patterns by practicing different actions and ways of thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It can help with anger, relationship stress, and coping when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss different methods and partner with the client to decide what fits their goals and daily life. She often combines practical tools, short at-home tasks, and coaching-style feedback so the plan can change as progress is made.

The therapist's biography shows a preference for messaging and live messaging work, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow for written reflection between messages, and reduce travel time. Ask about session length and format when scheduling to choose what best fits your routine.
