About Mary
Mary "Christine" Lawson is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and other life challenges. She speaks English and French and practices from Tennessee. Christine writes straightforward plans with each person so goals are clear and doable.
Christine draws on seven years of counseling experience and a range of approaches to match what a person needs. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas to help change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are part of her work when people want short-term, goal-focused support.
In sessions she listens for practical steps that fit daily life. She helps people break big problems into small, manageable moves. Christine also supports those coping with trauma, mood disorders, substance concerns, caregiving strain, and relationship pain.
She aims to create a respectful, steady space for honest conversations. Treatment plans are collaborative and adjusted as progress is made. Christine encourages using simple tools between sessions to track sleep, mood, and coping strategies.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. Fees vary with location and the subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Christine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy as key approaches in her work. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical tools to shift them, which helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding how past events affect current feelings and reactions, offering ways to process those memories and reduce their hold on daily life.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, trauma-focused work, or a mix of methods and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to keep consistent appointments. It can allow for shorter check-ins when days are tight, or for longer sessions when deeper work is needed. Because the exact session formats are not listed here, confirm current options before booking to make sure they fit your routine and technical needs.
