About Christine
Christine Toler is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of counseling experience and licenses in Tennessee and New Jersey. She works with young adults and others dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, parenting worries, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with coping and self‑esteem.
Christine says she first trusted therapy after it helped her as a child. She later completed an Ed.S and earned LPC-MHSP credentials in Tennessee and New Jersey, then went on to practice in schools and clinical settings. She keeps her approach straightforward and action oriented rather than only talking about problems.
In sessions she uses cognitive methods and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. She also draws on trauma-focused techniques when past events are getting in the way of present life. The work focuses on small, practical steps clients can use between sessions.
Christine aims for a nonjudgmental, solution-focused style. She often helps with family stress, communication problems, divorce and separation issues, and parenting strain. Other concerns she commonly sees include panic and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, mood instability such as bipolar concerns, and difficulties tied to attachment and abandonment.
She prefers clear goals and active work in sessions. New clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment to begin collaborating on next steps.
How Christine uses CBT, mindfulness and trauma work online
Christine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is practical and goal oriented, and it can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and problem patterns that get in the way of daily life.She also offers Mindfulness Therapy, teaching basic attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Mindfulness can help with stress, rumination, and emotional regulation between sessions. When past events continue to affect current functioning, she applies Trauma-Focused Therapy to process those memories and reduce their hold on present relationships and mood.
Figuring out which approach to use is a collaborative step. She will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than assuming one approach fits everyone. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust methods over time.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into study, work, or busy days and can allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require. It also means people can continue regular appointments without traveling, helping therapy become a practical part of everyday life.
