Christina Durr, LPC

Christina Durr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 11 years of experience as a counselor and life coach. She focuses on helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship and parenting challenges. Her work also includes support for anger, self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and help navigating major life changes.

Christina keeps sessions warm and interactive. She approaches people with respect and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels. Conversations are tailored to each person so the work fits their situation and goals.

She uses practical, evidence-informed methods that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered techniques, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies. That lets her combine skills-based work with attention to values and daily habits.

In a typical session she helps someone notice unhelpful thoughts, test new behaviors, and practice skills between meetings. She also spends time listening to life story and clarifying what matters most, then shaping achievable steps toward those goals.

Christina describes her role as supportive and empowering. She helps people set priorities, build coping tools, and track small changes that add up. If someone is ready to begin, she guides the practical next steps to get started.

How Christina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors. CBT is task-focused and often includes short exercises to try between sessions, which work well over video or messaging.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values and accept difficult feelings while taking meaningful action. ACT is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions and pairs well with mindfulness exercises that can be guided during a session.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She adapts pacing, homework, and communication style so the plan stays realistic and helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for longer discussions and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support possible between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
