About Christine

Christine O'Connor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Hampshire with 27 years of professional experience. She works with people who are managing stress and anxiety, facing addiction, recovering from trauma and abuse, and coping with grief and loss. Christine also supports those dealing with mood concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and a wide range of life challenges.

Her style is straightforward and practical. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and focuses on building on existing strengths. Sessions center on clear goals, problem-solving, and learning skills that can be used between meetings. Christine aims to make each session useful and understandable rather than full of jargon.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns that get in the way of daily life. That can include working on coping skills, communication strategies, and ways to handle triggers from past experiences. The emphasis is on what works in real situations, such as at work, in relationships, and during stressful moments.

Christine has worked across many settings during her career and brings that experience into sessions. She helps people break down overwhelming problems into manageable steps and tracks progress along the way. Her approach is collaborative - she and the client decide what to try next based on what helps.

If you want to begin, the usual process involves a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first meeting. She offers services in English and accepts international clients, and session details are confirmed when you start the sign-up steps.

Approaches and what online sessions involve

Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is skill-based work that teaches coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and activity planning to reduce overwhelm. This helps when everyday situations feel hard to manage.

Another approach focuses on processing reactions to trauma and abuse in measured steps, helping people recognize triggers and develop more manageable responses. That work aims to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. A third strand targets mood and behavior patterns, helping clients notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to test what helps in real life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Christine collaborates with clients to decide which techniques to try based on goals, preferences, and what shows results in early sessions. She adjusts plans as needed rather than sticking to one fixed method.

Session logistics should be confirmed when you start the sign-up steps. The profile does not list specific session formats, so ask about options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments.
