About Christian
Christian Geirsson is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with nine years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. He also supports those facing issues related to LGBT concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD.
Christian uses straightforward conversation to help people sort out what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and learning skills that can be used between meetings. He adapts the style of work to each person's pace and preferences rather than following a single formula.
His background includes a range of mood and behavior concerns such as panic and mood disorders, attachment-related difficulties, and problems that can come with major relationship changes like divorce and separation. He also has experience with multicultural issues, fatherhood concerns, and isolation or loneliness.
Christian draws on several therapeutic approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy helps with emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Client-Centered Therapy guides the pacing and tone of sessions to reflect each person's goals.
In sessions he often sets clear, short-term goals and checks progress regularly. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used to build momentum and highlight practical steps. People meet to talk through current problems, try new strategies, and review what works for them.
Therapeutic approaches used for online work
Christian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when working with people online. CBT helps by breaking down thoughts and behaviors that keep stress or anxiety cycling, then practicing small changes that can shift daily patterns. DBT focuses on managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building skills for steadier reactions.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to guide how sessions proceed, letting the person's concerns set the pace and focus. Figuring out the right mix of approaches is collaborative: the therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as format details are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It can also let people avoid being on camera when they prefer audio only or need a quieter setup. Licensed professionals generally aim to match session length and style to practical needs, and Christian will discuss how sessions can fit into everyday life during the first meeting.
