About Christine
Christine Nazario is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 22 years of experience in Illinois. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, process trauma and abuse, and cope with grief and loss. She also supports work on self-esteem, motivation, and building confidence.
She begins by listening to each person's story and respecting their strengths. Christine believes the client knows their life best and that therapy is a collaborative effort.
How Christine works
She aims to create a straightforward space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and try practical ways to feel better. Christine draws on methods that help people change unhelpful thinking, build coping skills, and improve emotional regulation. Sessions often include skills practice, goal setting, and checking what’s working in day-to-day life.
She adapts the pace to what each person needs and values their input on next steps. She has particular experience supporting people who are hearing impaired and those facing hospice and end-of-life issues. Christine uses American Sign Language along with spoken English when helpful, and she welcomes clients from outside the United States.
Her practice offers a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People who want to begin can start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person's strengths. The therapist offers empathy and helps clients name goals while the client guides what matters most. This approach can help when someone needs understanding and a steady, supportive space to talk.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions may include simple exercises, thought records, and action plans to try between meetings. This approach suits worries, low mood, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship skills. In an online setting it often means learning and practicing concrete skills to manage intense feelings and improve how someone copes under stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and will adjust course as needed based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited mobility. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person sessions, phone meetings need less bandwidth, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while focusing on practical change.
