Christine Abrams, LPC - Therapist in Pennsylvania

About Christine

Christine Abrams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. She focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and related issues. Christine aims to make therapy practical and reachable for busy parents and caregivers.

Her style is straightforward and supportive, helping people sort priorities and take small steps forward. She brings 35 years of experience in community mental health centers, agencies, and colleges.

Background and approach

Over that time she has also managed therapy programs and supervised counselors seeking licensure. That background means she knows a range of approaches and has worked with people at many life stages. Christine uses a client-centered foundation and pays attention to family systems.

She adds tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to match what each person needs. Sessions are active and collaborative - clients and she set priorities, try options, and track progress together. Practical resources are part of her work.

She often suggests books, apps, art, or writing exercises chosen for each person's interests and goals. Because much of her training is in family work, Christine routinely asks about relationships, culture, and environment to find strengths to build on. Her approach emphasizes clear options and steady progress.

She aims to help parents and individuals develop workable strategies, cope with life changes, and celebrate tangible gains along the way.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Christine draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to structure online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding your goals, and shaping sessions around what matters most to you; it helps when someone needs validation and wants space to make their own decisions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts tools over time and combines techniques when that helps reach practical goals faster.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to support different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting routines, work days, or busy weeks. Remote sessions allow ongoing follow-up, homework support, and quick check-ins so work between sessions can feel connected and useful.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
