About Christianne
Christianne Griffin is a licensed professional counselor with 24 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting strains, grief, trauma, and issues around identity.

She focuses on listening first and understanding each person's story.
Sessions are respectful and warm. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at finding usable steps that fit everyday life.
How Christianne works
Christianne uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work guide conversations about close relationships and safety in connection.
Her approach is person-centered - clients set goals and she adapts methods to match their pace. She helps people build skills for coping with anger, grief, bipolar mood swings, or compassion fatigue. Practical strategies and gentle reflection are woven into each session.
Christianne has worked across many concerns over two decades, including adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and communication problems. She aims to help people strengthen resilience and make changes that last. Sessions are offered in English and delivered in formats that suit the client's needs, including video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The focus is on steady progress and realistic next steps.

How therapy approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them, then pick actions that match their values to move forward. It is useful for anxiety, depression, life changes, and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce stress and improve mood. It is often helpful for anxiety, sleeping or eating problems, and anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on feelings in close relationships and helps people communicate needs more clearly and repair disconnection.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. Clients can try different techniques over time and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from wherever they are, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is suited to quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel while focusing on practical change.
