About Christine

Christine O'Neill is a licensed counselor who helps people tackle stress, anxiety, sleep problems, addictions, and low self-esteem. She brings 18 years of experience and a warm, interactive approach to sessions. Her style is goal oriented and often includes practical steps clients can try between meetings.

She frames work like coaching and gives short tasks to practice new habits. Humor is used to ease tense moments and to keep hard conversations grounded in reality. Christine emphasizes clear communication and focused goals rather than long, diffuse therapy talks.

Her background includes extensive work with mood disorders, addiction concerns, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and major life changes such as divorce or career shifts. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and trauma and abuse. Sleeping and rest difficulties are listed among the issues she addresses.

Christine uses several practical therapy methods to match the work to each person's needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation skills. Motivational Interviewing and a client-centered stance help people find their own reasons for change.

Sessions are offered in English and Christine accepts international clients. She practices in Colorado and holds LPC and LCPC credentials. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead so people feel heard and respected. It helps when someone needs space to sort out values, choices, or how they want life to be. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship struggles, and self-regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which methods make sense. That collaboration shapes whether the focus is on skill-building, short tasks between sessions, or more open-ended conversations.

Christine's biography highlights messaging and live messaging as ways she often communicates, but confirm current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and offer a way to pause and reflect before replying in written exchanges. Many people find this flexibility helps them practice new habits between meetings and stay consistent with care.
