About Christine

Christine Colucci is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 19 years of experience. She practices in New York and brings steady, practical support to people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. Her work often includes parenting and family-related topics, and she draws on a range of proven approaches to meet each person where they are.

She earned a master’s degree from Sage Graduate School and has worked in several mental health settings, including a nursing home social work department.

Background and approach

That background informs her comfort with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and cancer-related challenges. She also has experience with trauma, sexual assault and abuse, and post-traumatic stress. Christine practices in a warm, interactive style.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She respects each person’s pace and emphasizes collaboration over instruction. People can expect honest feedback delivered with empathy and support.

Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques. That mix lets her address unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and increase present-moment awareness. She also helps with communication problems, blended family dynamics, fertility and intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes.

Therapy with Christine aims to improve day-to-day functioning and make change feel manageable. She supports work on self-esteem, anger, career transitions, isolation, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English for people located in New York and beyond who use online formats.

Practical approaches for online family and life challenges

Client-centered work focuses on the relationship between therapist and client. It emphasizes listening, respect, and collaboration to help people set meaningful goals and make steady progress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of feeling better. It helps with anxiety, depression, and problem-solving in day-to-day life. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support coping during stressful moments.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust them as progress is made, so therapy stays aligned with the clients needs.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes. They also allow routine check-ins and quick access to coping strategies between longer sessions, while keeping the focus on practical steps and real-world results.

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.
