Christine Whittaker , LMFT

Christine Whittaker is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps individuals, couples, and families find meaning, build confidence, and create practical solutions for life’s challenges. She draws on years of experience working in private practice and online to guide clients through anxiety, relationship distress, trauma, grief, parenting concerns, intimacy issues, and other emotional or behavioral difficulties. Her approach emphasizes empathy, compassion, and a nonjudgmental stance, helping people identify the patterns that keep them stuck and develop straightforward communication and coping skills that strengthen relationships and personal wellbeing.

In addition to her clinical work, Christine serves as a clinical supervisor for marriage and family therapy and mental health counseling, and she works as a consultant in family divorce mediation and child custody evaluation. She is also a nationally certified parent instructor, a qualified parent coordinator, and a life coach, roles that support families navigating separation, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care concerns, and co-parenting challenges. Christine individualizes treatment by integrating theories and techniques to match each person or couple’s goals, often combining cognitive behavioral strategies with solution-focused and relational methods to produce clear, achievable steps toward change.

Known for a relational, strengths-based orientation, Christine helps clients move from avoidance and anxiety toward greater self-confidence and functional change. She emphasizes collaboration, practical skill building, and a respectful, non-adversarial process to help clients restructure interactions, heal from past harms, and build more satisfying connections with themselves and others.
