About Christine

Christine Sibilla is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and body image concerns. She speaks plainly and offers straightforward help for people feeling stuck by worry or low self-esteem. Her style is practical and aims to make small changes feel achievable.

Parents and caregivers reading about family and parenting issues may find her listed for that topic on this site. She combines talk-based work with tools that change daily habits.

Background and approach

Sessions often include goal-setting and steps to increase activity that support mood and energy. Christine uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and from Solution-Focused Therapy to build clear, short-term goals. Christine also draws on mindfulness practices to help clients stay present and EMDR for clients processing trauma when clinically appropriate.

She explains methods in plain language and helps people try them at a comfortable pace. Christine aims to help clients connect how their bodies and minds influence each other. With four years of experience, she works from Missouri and holds the LPC credential.

Her training emphasizes practical strategies parents and caregivers can try between sessions. Christine keeps work direct and focused on change that fits daily life. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person.

She helps people notice small wins and build routines that support mental and physical well-being. Progress is based on clear goals and step-by-step changes rather than long, abstract plans.

Therapeutic approaches that translate online

Christine often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Mindfulness helps reduce reactivity and makes it easier to cope with difficult feelings in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods together, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to keep using.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs and schedules. These options let people fit therapy around busy days, follow up with short check-ins, and practice skills between longer sessions. The variety of formats supports flexible, ongoing work on stress, mood, trauma processing, and habits that affect wellbeing.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
