About Christine
Christine Carlisle is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with 14 years of professional experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, and helping people cope with life changes. Christine takes a calm, straightforward approach so worried parents can quickly understand next steps.
Her style is collaborative and grounded in practical tools rather than academic jargon. She draws from evidence-based methods to address issues like addiction recovery, family of origin struggles, and parenting challenges.
Background and approach
Christine uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are ready to make changes but feel stuck. Attachment ideas guide conversations about how early relationships affect current connections.
That perspective is useful for working through abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and avoidant patterns. Sessions aim to identify small, manageable steps clients can try between meetings. Christine also helps with body image, chronic pain or illness adjustments, and concerns tied to guilt, shame, and self-love.
She emphasizes practical skills and steady support over quick fixes. The focus is on steady progress that fits each person’s life. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Parents and caregivers read her approach as direct and compassionate, with attention to concrete strategies for everyday family life.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Christine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce stress and improve relationships. This approach is useful for tackling negative self-talk, body image concerns, and patterns that affect family interactions.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. That method supports clients who feel stuck or ambivalent about steps like recovery from substance use or making adjustments in family roles.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, try approaches that fit their preferences, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients are invited to share feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats provide flexibility for busy family schedules and for people in different locations, including international clients. Remote sessions let parents and caregivers connect from home and work through real-life challenges without extra travel time.
