About Christine
Christine Savas is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois. She helps people who are struggling with stress, sleep problems, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and work or life transitions. Christine aims to make sessions practical and focused on day-to-day functioning rather than labels alone.
She uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs. That can include cognitive-behavioral ideas for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness skills to manage tension, and psychodynamic perspectives to understand long-standing patterns. Christine also draws on her interest in nutrition and lifestyle as they relate to mental health.
Her background includes an M.Ed. in Counseling from DePaul University and an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Human Relations from the University of Iowa. She has eight years of experience, including work with non-profits supporting at-risk young adults in Chicago and time in private practice addressing depression, anxiety, adjustment concerns, ADHD, and related issues.
Sessions are tailored to each person’s goals and daily life. Christine pays attention to how symptoms affect work, relationships, and overall functioning, and she adjusts strategies as needs change. She frames support around concrete steps people can try between sessions.
People looking for a therapist who combines talk-based approaches with lifestyle considerations may find her style approachable. She welcomes questions about how her way of working could fit with an individual’s priorities and routines.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Christine uses evidence-based techniques that are easy to explain and try in sessions. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to improve sleep, anxiety, and mood. Mindfulness practices teach short, practical exercises to reduce tension and help with falling or staying asleep.She also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice recurring patterns in relationships and daily routines that may influence sleep and stress. These longer view conversations can reveal habits or emotional triggers that keep problems cycling. Choosing the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process; she works with each person to decide what feels most useful based on goals and preferences.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, fewer travel demands, and better fit with busy days. Because the biography does not specify which session formats are offered, confirm the available options before booking. Discussing format, timing, and goals early on helps make sessions fit into everyday life, whether the focus is improving sleep habits, managing anxiety, or navigating a life change.
