About Christina

Christina Garry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, grief, and relationship difficulties. Christina listens first and helps people identify what is getting in the way of the life they want.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions are guided by the client’s goals and pace. Christina uses client-centered techniques to make space for each person's concerns, and she brings cognitive behavioral tools when thoughts and behaviors are getting in the way.

In practical work she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, manageable changes. She also supports coping with big life transitions, career stress, caregiver strain, isolation, and compassion fatigue. Conversations often include concrete steps to improve sleep and daily routines.

Christina emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session. She follows the lead of the person she is working with and adapts methods to fit individual needs. Her sessions aim to empower people to make choices that fit their values and goals.

If someone is ready to take the next step, Christina guides them through goal setting and action plans. She offers steady support while people practice new ways of thinking and acting. The focus is on practical progress rather than labels or quick fixes.

How client-centered and CBT approaches fit into online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's priorities. The therapist creates space for the client to name goals and steer the conversation, which can help when addressing sleep problems, grief, or relationship stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress because it gives clear tools people can practice between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christina collaborates with each person to decide whether client-centered conversation, CBT strategies, or a mix will best match their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques based on what the client finds helpful and practical.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can be scheduled and shaped to support sleep routines, coping strategies, and daily habits.
