About Christianne

Christianne Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, family and parenting concerns, and social anxiety among other issues. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges around identity and relationships.

Her sessions are practical and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people notice what matters most to them. Conversations focus on skills people can use between sessions and ways to manage difficult feelings in daily life.

Christianne draws on several therapy methods to guide her work. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also incorporates acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take small actions toward them. Attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and repeated reactions.

She has worked with adults on a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar mood issues, chronic illness, caregiving stress, adoption and attachment questions, and identity-related matters such as LGBT concerns. Her approach blends practical problem-solving with attention to relationships and emotional experience.

Clients are invited to try strategies, reflect on what helps, and adjust plans as needed. For someone who finds social situations or speaking up difficult, she offers steady, experience-based guidance and straightforward tools to practice between appointments.

How her approaches translate to online work

Christianne uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood challenges, and practical problems such as sleep or eating patterns.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions even when emotions are hard. ACT can support people working through avoidance, social anxiety, and life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That conversation happens early and can shift as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, it may cut down travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or let someone choose audio over video if that feels less demanding. Therapists in this field often adapt exercises and homework so they work between sessions and inside everyday routines.
