About Christine

Christine Snead is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 15 years in the mental health field. She approaches therapy in a straightforward, caring way and helps people who are ready to make practical changes.

She blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive behavioral tools and emotionally-focused ideas. That means sessions focus on what matters to the client, look at patterns of thought and behavior, and also pay attention to emotions in relationships. Christine uses these methods to address everyday struggles as well as deeper concerns.

Common concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship issues. She also helps people dealing with parenting strain, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. Adoption and foster care matters are listed among her additional focus areas for people navigating those specific stresses.

Christine draws on solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing alongside her core approaches to help clients set doable goals. Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented, while still allowing space to talk through feelings and difficult events.

She earned a master’s degree from Auburn University and has worked with a variety of people over the last decade and a half. Christine aims to make the first steps manageable and to support clients as they work toward clearer decisions and better daily coping.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and placing the client's goals at the center of sessions. It helps people who need a supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort out feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical exercises and short-term strategies for anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior change.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, emphasizes emotions in relationships and helps people notice and change patterns that keep them stuck. It can be useful when relationship dynamics or intimacy-related issues are a concern.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on how the work is going. Clients and the therapist decide together what techniques are most helpful.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling. Talk with the therapist about practical preferences like session length, timing, and whether you want to use video or another format so sessions fit your day.
