About Christianne
Christianne Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 24 years of experience based in Wisconsin. She focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Christianne aims to create a calm space where people can talk openly about what’s weighing on them and start to build small, useful changes.
She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try new ways of handling hard moments.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and personable, with an emphasis on clearer communication, healthier routines, and stronger boundaries. Christianne uses straightforward techniques so clients can practice between meetings. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral tools with acceptance-based ideas and attachment-focused work when relationships play a role.
She also draws on emotionally-focused methods and client-centered listening to match the work to each person’s needs. This mix helps address mood concerns, trauma histories, and stress from life changes. Christianne has spent more than two decades helping adults manage grief, anger, career shifts, caregiving strain, and chronic health challenges.
She also supports concerns such as ADHD, body image, and blended family issues. Her background emphasizes steady support and clear next steps rather than quick fixes. People who meet with Christianne can expect a respectful, down-to-earth tone and help building skills to cope better day to day.
She explains tools in everyday language and helps make a plan that fits each person’s life and goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which often reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety and improves daily routines. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationship patterns shape responses, and it helps people change how they connect with important others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, and then try methods that fit. That collaboration helps pick and adjust techniques so they are useful in the client’s everyday life.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, caregiving, and medical needs. Clients can practice tools between sessions and check in through messaging when helpful, which supports steady progress without extra travel.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
