About Christine
Christine Selario is a licensed clinical social worker who has practiced in New York for nearly 27 years. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and major life changes. Parents and individuals concerned about family tensions or communication problems will find a steady, experienced presence.
She also works with people affected by addiction and those who have adoption or foster care histories. Over a long career Christine has learned to listen closely and respond plainly.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to clarify what is most troubling and then build small, practical steps forward. She helps people learn tools to reduce panic episodes, handle worry, and cope with everyday pressures. Her work often centers on improving family communication and resolving ongoing conflicts.
She also supports people adjusting after big transitions like moves, job changes, or shifts in caregiving roles. When adoption or foster care memories affect current relationships, she addresses those issues with attention and respect. Christine’s style is steady and compassionate.
She combines practical coping strategies with time to talk through emotions. People can expect direct, understandable guidance rather than jargon. Her practice includes phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging options.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Many therapists use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building coping skills. One common approach helps people identify anxious thoughts and practice ways to respond differently; this can reduce panic episodes and ongoing worry. Another approach emphasizes learning concrete coping strategies and gradual exposure to stressful situations to build confidence and lower avoidance. These methods are practical and aimed at day-to-day improvement.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaboration may mean trying a few strategies early on and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to care. Video calls let people read facial cues and use screen-shared worksheets, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or to have shorter, focused conversations during a break. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity even when schedules change.
