About Christine

Christine O'Connor is a licensed clinical social worker with many years helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and sleep concerns. She works from a straightforward, respectful stance and encourages clients to use their own strengths. Christine emphasizes small, practical steps that fit into daily life and supports people through change.

She believes the person in therapy knows their story best. Sessions focus on clear goals, coping skills, and problem-solving rather than jargon. Christine listens for what matters most to each person and tailors suggestions to their situation.

Over 27 years of practice in New Hampshire, Christine has supported people dealing with trauma, depression, relationship strain, and long-term health challenges. She also helps with parenting stresses, anger, career transitions, and attention-related concerns. Her experience includes working with issues that often co-occur, such as chronic illness and caregiver strain.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. Christine offers strategies for better sleep and routines when sleep is a problem, plus ways to manage anxiety and cravings. She prioritizes techniques that can be tried between sessions and adjusted as progress is made.

People who choose Christine can expect a steady, nonjudgmental guide. She encourages realistic steps and honors each person's pace when facing difficult changes.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building skills and changing unhelpful habits. One common approach involves teaching practical coping strategies for anxiety and sleep - tools like breathing exercises, bedtime routines, and step-by-step behavior changes that aim to improve rest and reduce nighttime worry. Another approach centers on skills for managing cravings and addictive behaviors by identifying triggers and creating alternative responses that fit daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest methods that match your situation. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted based on what helps most in real life.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and keep momentum between appointments. It allows people to meet with a licensed professional without traveling, which can save time and let sessions occur from locations that work better with work or caregiving schedules. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which options are available before booking to ensure they match your needs.
