About Christina
Christina Bachenberg is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland with 12 years of counseling experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, family issues, and life changes. Christina also focuses on social anxiety and phobia, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and struggles with body image or isolation.
Her approach centers on clear, direct conversation and practical steps. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to practice new ways of responding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps when strong feelings affect relationships and communication.
Sessions typically include goal-setting and short-term strategies that can be practiced between meetings. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are drawn on to build momentum and small, manageable changes. Christina encourages straightforward discussion of concerns like guilt, control issues, or compulsive behaviors.
She aims to support people who find social situations, speaking up, or meeting new people difficult by helping them develop specific skills and steps to try. Work may include practicing conversations, behavioral experiments, and tracking progress over time. The tone in sessions is practical and respectful, focused on what clients want to change.
Christina practices in Maryland and conducts therapy in English. If someone wants to proceed, they are asked to follow the site's booking path and complete the initial matching questionnaire before their first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. Online sessions can replicate this through guided conversation, checking understanding, and encouraging the client to set the pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this often looks like practicing specific exercises, reviewing thought records, and planning behavioral experiments between meetings.The therapist will treat finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That means trying a CBT skill for a few sessions, then shifting emphasis if EFT or solution-focused techniques better fit the goals.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports doing practical tasks between sessions, like exposure exercises or communication practice, while staying connected with a therapist during the process.
