About Christina

Christina Ohm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with 32 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with mood disorders like bipolar and depression, and address relationship and family challenges. Her tone is practical and steady, aimed at parents and caregivers who want straightforward support.

Christina treats sessions as a partnership. She listens to each person’s story and builds on the strengths already present.

Background and approach

She emphasizes small, doable steps that fit real life and family routines rather than complex jargon. Her toolkit includes dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, along with training materials and guidance about nutrition and mental health. DBT offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

CBT helps spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. Christina blends talk-based work with concrete skill practice and lifestyle suggestions. She may introduce worksheets, brief skill drills, and nutrition ideas that can support mood and energy.

The focus is on clear strategies a person can try between sessions. Parents who are juggling schedules and relationships will find a practical approach and steady guidance. Christina aims to make progress feel doable and to help families restore clearer communication and more balanced daily routines.

Evidence-based approaches offered online

Christina uses dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. DBT teaches skills for managing strong emotions, handling crisis moments, and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it can help when mood swings or relationship tension feel overwhelming. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which often reduces anxiety and depressive symptoms over time.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapy process. She will work together with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and daily life. That collaborative decision-making helps shape goals and the pacing of skill practice.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and caregivers. Sessions can happen by video call or phone when a live conversation is best. For quick check-ins or skill practice, live chat or text-based messaging are options. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around family schedules and to practice skills between sessions.
