About Christine

Christine Badour is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. She has provided therapy and intervention services for people coping with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, panic and explosive disorders, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, and substance use concerns.

Background and approach

Her background includes work across a broad range of emotional, behavioral, and relationship challenges such as communication problems, career struggles, grief, intimacy-related issues, and caregiver stress. Her therapeutic manner is warm, engaging, and person-centered, emphasizing collaboration and respect for each client's knowledge of their own life.

Christine draws from multiple evidence-informed methods and adapts treatment to fit individual needs, blending approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-focused work, dialectical strategies, and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship issues arise. She aims to offer compassionate, supportive guidance that encourages practical coping skills and personal growth.

Clients can expect a tailored plan shaped by their goals and preferences, with an emphasis on strengthening resilience, improving communication, and addressing co-occurring concerns like addiction and impulsivity. Christine welcomes those seeking steady support and a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

How Christine’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and interpersonal patterns; it helps people explore trust, security, and patterns of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is skills-oriented and helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering concrete tools for managing intense emotions and impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Christine works with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences and then adapts techniques from these methods to create a tailored plan. The aim is to find practical strategies that fit the client’s life and to adjust the work as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and different communication styles. These formats can make it easier to access consistent care from Michigan-based licensed professionals while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. The variety of virtual formats also allows for skill practice and check-ins between sessions to support ongoing progress.
