Christine O'Neill, LPC, LCPC

Christine O'Neill is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, mood changes, addiction, and grief. She brings a warm, interactive style and aims to help clients set practical goals. Her approach often includes small tasks between sessions to build momentum and change patterns. With 18 years of experience, she blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered care and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-focused, with humor used when appropriate to relieve tension and bring perspective to hard topics. Christine favors clear steps that people can try right away. She often encourages brief exercises and messaging-based check-ins to help clients reflect and absorb feedback. That method can help people think through their responses before replying and maintain progress between meetings. Christine frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s priorities guide the work. Christine has worked with issues such as depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, intimacy and relationship struggles, parenting strain, career stress, and coping with life changes. She also supports people managing chronic pain, caregiver stress, body image, and recovery from trauma and abuse. Sessions are offered in English and Christine practices from Colorado. She uses a coaching-leaning style that emphasizes practical steps and measurable progress, while allowing space for emotion and meaning to be explored.

How Christine Uses Practical Therapies Online

Christine commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that change mood and functioning. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing impulsive behaviors.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what matters to the client. That approach creates space for people to set their own goals and make choices at their own pace.

Dialectical behavior therapy skills are included when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or relationship patterns are central concerns. DBT techniques teach concrete skills for managing intense feelings and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and life situation. Together they decide which techniques to emphasize and adapt methods as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging gives time to think and respond. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
