Christine O'Connor, LCSW

Christine O'Connor is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and intimacy-related issues. She draws on 27 years of practice to support people facing trauma, relationship strain, eating and sleeping concerns, and life transitions. Christine works with clients who identify as LGBT and with a wide range of other challenges including ADHD and compassion fatigue.

She approaches care with a plainspoken style that treats each person as the expert in their own life. Christine listens for strengths and practical options. She helps people set small goals, practice new skills, and build routines that fit daily life.

Her background includes decades of direct clinical work in New Hampshire. That experience informs how she notices patterns, safety needs, and what tends to help in real-world situations. Christine aims to make therapeutic ideas easy to use between sessions.

Sessions focus on clear steps rather than jargon. Christine will work with a person to map out priorities and try specific strategies for issues like chronic stress, anger, caregiving strain, or difficulties with intimacy. Progress is checked and plans are adjusted as needed.

People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation, practical tools, and steady support through change. To begin, readers should use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. This method is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it teaches clear skills to test in daily life. Another approach emphasizes processing and coping with difficult experiences so that trauma, grief, or strong emotions feel less overwhelming. It centers on pacing work and building safety before addressing painful memories.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s situation and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy life. It can reduce time spent commuting, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep regular appointments around work or caregiving demands. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so they work well between sessions and in everyday settings.
