Christine O'Connor, LCSW

Christine O'Connor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 27 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and depression. She offers steady support for relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, and life transitions. Christine emphasizes practical steps you can use between sessions and gentle encouragement while you work through difficult problems.

She approaches therapy as a collaboration where the client is the expert on their life. Christine listens for strengths and patterns, then suggests ways to try new behaviors and thoughts. Sessions focus on problem-solving, coping strategies, and building skills to manage mood, sleep, eating, and anger.

Her background includes long clinical experience in New Hampshire, which informs a pragmatic, down-to-earth style. She helps people navigate caregiving stress, chronic illness, cancer-related concerns, and issues common in later life such as aging and geriatric issues. Christine also supports people managing identity questions like LGBT concerns and body image challenges.

Therapy can include short-term work on a specific problem or longer-term support for complex issues such as trauma, bipolar disorder, or co-morbid conditions. She pays attention to how attachment patterns, abandonment worries, and communication problems affect relationships. Sessions aim to leave people with clearer choices and usable coping tools.

Christine works in English and accepts clients from outside the United States. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Christine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical change. One common approach she uses emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of thinking and behaving; this helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking patterns that keep problems active. Another approach focuses on skills training for emotion regulation and coping; this provides concrete tools for managing intense feelings, sleep problems, eating concerns, and anger.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative effort. Christine will work with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and situation. She starts with what the client wants to change and then tailors methods to fit those needs and preferences.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people maintain continuity of care across locations, which is useful for those managing caregiving responsibilities, chronic illness, or changing life circumstances.
