About Christine

Christine Crawford brings 37 years of clinical experience to her Michigan practice, working as an LMSW to help people navigate complex interpersonal and emotional challenges.

Background and approach

She focuses on family dynamics, parenting concerns, and neurodevelopmental issues such as ADHD and autism spectrum experiences, drawing on long experience to tailor pragmatic support for each client. Her work emphasizes practical skill-building for emotional regulation, communication, and coping with life changes, while attending to multicultural factors and the impacts of prejudice and discrimination.

Christine addresses a broad array of concerns including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, anger, impulsivity, and compassion fatigue, aiming to create an inclusive environment grounded in respect and cultural sensitivity. Clients benefit from evidence-based interventions that translate into day-to-day strategies for managing stress, improving relationships, and resolving family-of-origin or blended family conflicts.

Christine’s style blends compassion with practical structure, helping people and families develop resilience and clearer pathways forward.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Christine routinely uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize skill-building and practical coping. Cognitive-behavioral methods focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and improve problem-solving in daily life. Interventions for emotional regulation teach concrete tools to manage anger, impulsivity, and stress, which can be especially helpful for people navigating ADHD-related challenges and family conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. Christine works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts techniques over time so the plan fits the person and their circumstances rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and allow people to access licensed professionals from their home or other convenient locations.
