About Christine
Christine Sande is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) licensed in North Carolina with three years of professional experience. She focuses on concerns adults commonly bring from home life, including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship strain, grief, eating issues, parenting, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD.
She uses practical conversation and problem-solving in sessions. Christine adapts the discussion to the person in front of her and focuses on clear, manageable steps a client can try between appointments. Sessions are straightforward and paced to what feels doable for each person.
Her work also picks up common household strains such as blended family issues, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and drug and alcohol addiction. She helps people sort out feelings like guilt, shame, jealousy, isolation, and forgiveness. She also addresses body image, codependency, and finding life purpose.
Christine communicates in English and Italian. She practices in North Carolina and holds the NC LCMHC credential. She does not accept international clients.

How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Many counselors use evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and practical changes. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. This helps with worry, low mood, and stress that shows up at home.Another approach concentrates on coping skills and relapse prevention for addictions and strong emotions. It teaches concrete steps to manage urges, recognize triggers, and build routines that feel more stable. That method is often useful for people dealing with substance use, anger, or ongoing stress.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and everyday demands, then suggest techniques to try. Sessions can change as needs shift and progress is reviewed together.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography did not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel and allowing appointments during breaks or evenings. It can also let people choose sessions that suit energy levels, such as a shorter phone check-in or a longer video meeting when deeper conversation is needed.
