Christine Snead is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, moment-to-moment help. She offers calm, straightforward support for people dealing with stress, anger, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, addictions, and other life challenges.

She has 15 years of experience in mental health and earned a master's degree from Auburn University. Her work centers on helping people notice patterns, try small changes, and build skills that make daily life easier. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented, with attention to what matters most to each person.

Christine uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and shape sessions around each person's goals. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that increase distress and to practice new responses. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs her work around attachment and relationship concerns.

She has worked with people facing parenting stress, adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, and caregiver strain. Other focus areas include trauma and abuse, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and fertility-related stress.

Her approach aims to be practical and compassionate. Christine helps people break problems into manageable steps, practice new behaviors, and measure small gains. She encourages ongoing teamwork between therapist and client to find what works best.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's goals first and focuses on listening and empathy. This approach helps people clarify what they want to change and guides sessions around those aims.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It helps people learn specific skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful habits.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used when attachment and relationship patterns are causing pain. It helps people name emotions and try new ways of relating to others.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know what to expect. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that match a regular schedule. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings, use audio-only when needed, or plan short check-ins for brief support between longer sessions.
