About Christine
Christine O'Connor is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New Hampshire. She brings 27 years of experience supporting people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or changes in life. She helps those coping with addiction, trauma, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns.
She affirms each person's strengths and treats them as the expert in their own story. Christine focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She listens and helps clients name priorities and set workable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's comfort level. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her background spans many settings over nearly three decades.
That experience includes working with a wide range of issues from mood disorders and ADHD to chronic pain and caregiving stress. She also supports people facing issues such as body image, career uncertainty, and coping after loss. Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns.
She helps people develop coping skills, improve communication, and manage emotions. Her approach mixes practical tools with an emphasis on clients' strengths and resilience. People who reach out can expect straightforward language and a calm, steady presence.
Christine aims to help clients build routines and strategies that fit daily life. She invites anyone ready to take a step toward clearer goals and better coping to explore working together.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on teaching practical skills and changing unhelpful patterns. One approach emphasizes skill-building to manage intense emotions and reduce anxiety; it helps people notice triggers and try specific strategies to calm down and think more clearly. Another approach targets mood regulation and coping with loss or trauma by helping people process difficult events, build routines, and practice new behaviors that support recovery.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay focused on their priorities and daily life needs.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible options for brief updates, reflections between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and varying schedules.
