Christine Garwick-Foley, LPC

Christine Garwick-Foley is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who helps people facing grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She has 25 years of experience and focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and regain motivation.

Her work centers on the whole person - body, emotions, and spirit. She often combines client-centered listening with structured methods to address symptoms and patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions involve talking, skill-building, and drawing on strengths the person already has.

Christine has substantial experience supporting adults through chronic pain, trauma, relationship concerns, and caregiving strain. She also helps with issues like body image, sleep problems, anger, and changes that come with aging and geriatric issues. Her background includes work with people navigating identity and LGBT-related concerns.

Her approaches include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused work, existential ideas, and EMDR. In practice she blends these to match each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

People who meet with her can expect clear, calm guidance and practical tools to try between sessions. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect a person to scheduling and next steps.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and helping the person access their own strengths. It is about being heard and having a therapist reflect and support the decisions someone already knows they want to try.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or sleep problems.

Emotionally-focused ideas help people understand attachment and relationship patterns. This approach is useful when relationship stress, loss, or caregiving demands are part of what is causing pain.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which approach or combination makes the most sense for their goals, values, and daily life. That collaborative decision can change over time as progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and accommodate quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth needs depending on the format chosen. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises and homework so people can use tools between sessions and continue making progress.
