About Christine
Christine Crawford is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 37 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, parenting challenges, relationship issues, grief, mood concerns, and social anxiety and phobia.
She focuses on practical help for everyday problems. That can mean talking through parenting choices, finding ways to manage strong emotions, or shaping routines that reduce stress. She also supports people navigating blended family dynamics and family-of-origin issues.
Her work includes support for ADHD and autism spectrum experiences and for people coping with impulsivity or disruptive mood patterns. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to develop clear strategies for behavior and communication.
Christine pays attention to cultural and multicultural concerns, including prejudice and discrimination. She helps clients name how these factors affect relationships and daily life, and then works on concrete next steps to respond differently.
With many years in practice, she aims to help people set small, achievable goals. Sessions often focus on skills for emotional regulation, practical communication techniques, and ways to manage everyday stressors. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site instructions to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills. One common approach is skills-based work for emotional regulation, which teaches concrete steps to notice triggers and use calming strategies for anger, anxiety, or mood swings. This can be helpful for people who want clear tools to manage strong feelings. Another approach emphasizes communication and behavior strategies to improve relationships and family functioning. That work breaks down difficult conversations into manageable steps and practices new ways of interacting. It is often used for parenting challenges, blended family issues, and relationship stress. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to identify which techniques fit the person’s needs and goals. That means trying methods, checking how they work, and adjusting the plan together. Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods here. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, make it easier to keep regular appointments, and reduce travel time. Others use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or choose audio if they prefer not to be on camera. Discussing these options during the matching questionnaire and first appointment helps find what works best.Areas of expertise
