Christine Rexroat, LCPC - Therapist in Illinois

About Christine

Christine Rexroat, LCPC, is a counselor who focuses on supporting people through major life changes and emotional strain. She brings a background in nursing and a practical understanding of women's health to conversations about transitions like pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, divorce, and menopause.

Her style is warm and collaborative, and she aims to help people feel heard and respected while they work through difficult feelings. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person's pace and priorities.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps name and process strong feelings that come up during change or loss. Christine draws on seven years as a licensed counselor and three decades of nursing experience in women’s health.

That combined background shapes how she talks about medical stressors, caregiving strain, and life transitions. She emphasizes practical steps as well as emotional understanding. Sessions often involve clear goal-setting, learning small skills to manage anxiety or sleep, and talking through grief or relationship concerns.

She also supports people facing compassion fatigue and burnout from caregiving roles. The work is paced to each person's current needs and energy. Starting therapy is described as a step that takes courage, and Christine aims to create a respectful, approachable atmosphere.

Prospective clients complete a brief questionnaire to match and then schedule based on therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist provides empathy and reflection to help people clarify what they need and make their own decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect; it teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, personal preferences, and what feels most helpful. Decisions about using mindfulness practices, emotion-focused exercises, or thought-behavior techniques are made collaboratively and adjusted as progress is made.

Because specific session formats are not listed here, confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, shorten travel time, and reduce the need to take long breaks from work or family. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight or sessions that use audio rather than video when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Licensed professionals can guide how to shape online sessions so they match practical needs and therapeutic goals.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
