About Christine
Christine Parsons is a Pennsylvania Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, depression, and life changes. Christine focuses on practical steps people can use when social situations feel hard to handle and when everyday routines feel overwhelming.
She starts by listening to how each person describes their situation and what matters most to them. Christine uses straightforward conversation to identify small, usable changes and builds from strengths clients already have. Sessions tend to emphasize short-term goals and clear next steps rather than long lectures or complex theory.
Her background includes a decade of practice with people dealing with family conflict, caregiver stress, bereavement and end-of-life concerns, and financial or housing strain such as hoarding. She has supported clients through divorce, postpartum difficulties, and the lasting effects of past trauma.
Christine draws on client-centered work to follow what the person says matters, motivational interviewing to support readiness for change, and solution-focused techniques to set achievable goals. These approaches steer sessions toward what can be tried between meetings. She works in English and practices in Pennsylvania.
To begin, she asks people to describe the problem in their own words and to pick one small goal to work on first. That practical emphasis makes sessions feel more like a conversation with steps to try afterward.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following what the person says matters and reflecting that back to help clarify concerns; it can help when social situations or relationships feel confusing. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that supports a person’s own reasons for change and can help with decisions around parenting, relationship moves, or managing anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps conversations goal-oriented and looks for practical, short-term steps to try between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work Christine does with each person. She will ask about goals, past attempts, and preferences, and then suggest a path that combines these methods. That collaboration helps set clear, manageable next steps rather than vague targets.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting meetings into a busy week and reducing travel time so check-ins are easier to keep. The therapist’s process aims to make sessions feel focused and actionable, with straightforward tasks to test between appointments. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and can pick what fits your schedule and daily routine.
