Mary "Christine" Lawson

Mary "Christine" Lawson is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, ADHD, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. Sessions are offered in English and French. Christine brings seven years of experience to her work and meets each person with respect and compassion.

Christine focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She works together with clients to set clear goals and build skills for everyday life. That can mean learning tools to manage strong emotions, improving communication, or making a plan for better sleep and healthier routines.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, with additional methods such as Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She adapts these methods to the needs and pace of each person in the room. The emphasis is on tangible strategies rather than jargon.

Christine has worked in Tennessee and has experience with a range of concerns including grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, and codependency. She frames progress as steady and practical steps, not sudden fixes. People meet her to gain tools, clarity, and steady support.

Approaches you can use online

Christine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as core tools in her work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine will work collaboratively with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and pace. Adjustments are made as progress is seen, and the client helps decide what stays and what changes.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Before booking, check the current session options so you know how sessions will be scheduled and delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and allow people to use tools and worksheets during sessions. Licensed professionals can still guide skill practice, review homework, and help build routines through remote meetings, depending on the format you choose.
