About Christina

Christina Durr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 11 years of clinical and coaching experience. She guides people through common life struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. Her work also includes support for grief, anger, addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and coping with major life changes.

Christina keeps sessions warm and interactive. She treats clients with respect and sensitivity and avoids stigmatizing labels.

Background and approach

Conversations are practical and focused on what the person wants to change in daily life. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. That mix lets her use clear skills, short-term problem solving, and values-based exercises as needed.

She tailors the plan to each person rather than following a set script. In sessions clients can expect a respectful, collaborative tone and straightforward tools to try between meetings. Christina also brings life coaching experience to goal setting and action planning.

She encourages steady steps toward what matters most to each client. Christina emphasizes empowerment and practical progress. She supports people who are ready to make changes and helps them build routines and coping strategies that fit everyday life.

Her aim is to make therapy understandable and useful from the first sessions.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting and life work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It uses practical exercises that support change even when emotions are strong, and it can help with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and coping with life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments. It teaches clear skills for managing anxiety, low mood, anger, and compulsive behaviors, and it pairs well with short practical homework tasks.

Mindfulness-based and solution-focused techniques add brief exercises to calm attention and break problems into manageable steps. These methods are useful when someone needs quick ways to reduce overwhelm or to set and track achievable goals.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Christina will work with each person to choose and adapt methods based on goals, preferences, and what feels useful in practice. The plan can change as progress is made or new challenges appear.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to fit sessions around family schedules, work, and daily routines. Remote sessions also let clients use tools and exercises at home where they practice changes between meetings.

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.

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.
