Christine Abrams , LPC

Christine Abrams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with more than 35 years of experience in clinical settings. She has provided therapy across community mental health centers, agencies, and college environments, and has overseen therapy programs while supervising counselors pursuing professional licensure. Over the course of her career she has worked with people of all ages and backgrounds on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, parenting issues, trauma, and life transitions.

Her approach draws from client-centered and family systems theory while integrating cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques. She emphasizes active, individualized work - discussing concerns, setting priorities, and collaborating on practical goals. Christine often offers a range of options tailored to each person, including recommended books, apps, or creative activities like art or writing when those tools fit the client’s needs and interests.

Because much of her training focuses on family work, she considers individuals in the context of relationships, culture, and environment, looking for existing strengths that can be applied to current challenges. She aims to help clients develop workable strategies and to acknowledge progress as they move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christine Abrams commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as core elements of her practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely, validating the individual’s experience, and building a collaborative relationship that helps people explore their values and choices - it is helpful for stress, relationship concerns, and self-esteem issues. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or problematic coping.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christine works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time so therapy remains responsive and goal oriented, involving clients in decisions about tools and activities that might support progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow people to engage in therapy from different locations and to choose the format that feels most useful for scheduling, communication style, and day-to-day life, while continuing to work with licensed professionals and therapists to address their concerns.
