About Christine

Christine Solum is a licensed independent clinical social worker with 25 years of experience blending compassionate listening with practical, evidence-informed tools.

Background and approach

She draws on client-centered principles to create a warm, interactive environment where each person’s priorities guide the work, and she commonly uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Christine’s practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting challenges, intimacy matters, and self-esteem struggles.

She also brings attention to related areas such as autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, codependency, divorce and separation, hospice and end-of-life concerns, infidelity, intellectual disability, obsessive-compulsive patterns, postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress, and pregnancy and childbirth.

Christine adapts her approach to fit individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to the situation presented. Based in Minnesota, she offers supportive guidance for people ready to explore change and build more satisfying, resilient ways of living.

Integrating Client-Centered and CBT Approaches Online

Christine uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the person’s experience, offering nonjudgmental listening and collaborative goal setting so individuals feel heard and guided toward their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used alongside this approach to identify and shift patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, or stress, providing concrete skills to try between sessions.

Choosing the right blend of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and Christine works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative planning helps shape a tailored path forward that combines empathic support with practical strategies.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for varying schedules and life demands. These formats make it easier to access regular care from Minnesota or while managing busy routines, and they allow for continuity of work even when in-person meetings are difficult to arrange.
