Christine Weber, LMHC, LPC - Therapist in Rhode Island

About Christine

Christine Weber is a licensed mental health counselor with 37 years of clinical experience. She holds the LMHC and LPC credentials and practices in Rhode Island. She focuses on common parenting and family stresses along with anxiety, mood concerns, addictions, and other everyday struggles parents face.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and justice studies and a master’s in agency counseling. She also completed advanced graduate study in rehabilitation counseling.

Background and approach

Those training steps supported a multi-decade career in community and clinical settings. Christine uses straightforward, skill-based work in sessions. She often teaches calming and grounding skills, thought skills from cognitive behavioral therapy, and strategies from mindfulness and dialectical behavior therapy.

When addictions are involved she blends motivational interviewing with practical relapse-prevention planning. She has long experience helping adults manage anxiety and co-occurring substance use concerns. That work includes short-term skill building and longer-term planning for lasting change.

Sessions are intended to be practical and focused on solutions that fit family life. Parents looking for clear tools, calm problem-solving, and steady clinical experience often find her approach useful. She aims to help people reduce stress, improve coping, and manage the ups and downs of parenting and family life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s lead. In online sessions this means the therapist focuses on what matters most to the parent or adult and shapes sessions around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical strategies to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It works well by video or phone because homework, worksheets, and skill practice can be reviewed together in session and applied between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend a plan. That plan can mix approaches - for example CBT for anxiety alongside mindfulness skills - and it can change over time based on progress and feedback. The process is collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort.

Online sessions offer real flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, to follow up between sessions, and to practice skills where life happens. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver focused, skills-based care that adapts to parents and adults managing stress, parenting demands, and co-occurring concerns.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
