About Christian
Christian Geirsson is a licensed professional counselor with nine years of experience. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and challenges around self-esteem and coping with life changes. He also works with concerns related to ADHD, bipolar conditions, compassion fatigue, and LGBT-related issues.
Christian practices in Pennsylvania and speaks English. Christian aims for straightforward, respectful conversations. He treats people with sensitivity and compassion and adapts the pace to each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. The goal is to help people feel more capable day to day. His approach mixes client-centered listening with skills-based methods.
That means first understanding what matters to the person, then teaching tools to manage emotions and behavior. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to reduce distress and build coping skills. Christian also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods.
These help with setting short-term goals and staying motivated through change. He collaborates with clients to create a plan that fits their life and priorities. People can expect a calm, practical style that balances empathy and structure.
Christian emphasizes small, achievable steps and checks progress along the way. He supports people who want clearer routines, stronger coping skills, and more confidence managing difficult moments.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them feel heard so they can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and mood problems through practical exercises and thought reframing.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christian will talk through goals and preferences, then suggest methods that match those goals. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant to everyday life.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. Video calls can recreate a face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions let someone join from anywhere. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, frequent check-ins and written reminders of tools and exercises. These options add flexibility and let licensed professionals reach people where they already are, making regular progress more achievable.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
