About Christine
Christine Snead is an Alabama LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 15 years of experience helping adults with common life stressors. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction, grief, and identity concerns including LGBT issues.
Christine uses practical, talk-based approaches in sessions. She leans on Client-Centered work to follow the client's agenda, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviors, and Emotionally-Focused ideas when relationships and attachment are central. Sessions aim to be straightforward and action-oriented.
She has a history of supporting people through major life changes. That includes job transitions, moving, and the fallout from separation or blended-family changes. She also has experience with addiction, domestic violence impacts, and caregiver stress.
Christine has worked with concerns related to parenting, adoption and foster care, fertility stress, and issues that arise in first responder communities. She also addresses anger, shame, and self-esteem problems, and supports people managing mood conditions such as bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns.
Her approach typically mixes practical exercises and open conversation. Clients can expect focused goal-setting, skills practice such as CBT techniques, and time to talk through feelings about relationships and identity. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. Online sessions using this approach center on what matters to the person and on practical discussion about next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In online sessions CBT often involves setting simple between-session tasks, tracking patterns, and reviewing progress in follow-up meetings.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how people respond in close relationships and helps name feelings and attachment patterns. In an online setting this can help with dating stress, intimacy issues, and repairing communication with important people.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, Client-Centered methods, EFT, or a mix fits best. That decision is based on needs, goals, and personal preference rather than a preset plan.
