About Christine

Christine O'Connor is an LCSW based in New Hampshire who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD among other challenges.

Background and approach

With 27 years of clinical experience, she draws on a strengths-based perspective that recognizes each person as the expert on their life while offering guidance to navigate difficult transitions and persistent symptoms. Christine emphasizes practical coping strategies alongside emotional processing to help clients move toward greater well-being.

Her work also addresses a wide range of related concerns including anger, sleep and eating difficulties, career and caregiver stress, attachment and communication problems, and issues tied to chronic illness and body image. She accepts international clients and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging, adapting to the way a client prefers to engage.

Christine frames therapy as a collaborative process, supporting clients through concrete change while honoring their resilience and values.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and emotional understanding. One commonly used approach helps clients build concrete skills for managing stress, anxiety, and addiction triggers through structured exercises and problem-solving strategies. Another approach emphasizes processing traumatic experiences and grief by creating a safe, paced space to work through painful memories and their current impact on daily life.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic journey, and Christine approaches that choice collaboratively. She works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors techniques and pacing so the work is sustainable and aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy with Christine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to connect from different locations. These formats support continuity of care, flexibility in scheduling, and the ability to maintain regular contact between sessions when needed.
