About Christine
Christine O'Connor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Hampshire with 27 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also supports those coping with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career stress, and attention-related challenges like ADHD.
Christine takes a practical, respectful approach. She treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that fit day-to-day life.
Background and approach
The work is collaborative and paced to the person's needs. Her background includes long clinical experience across a range of concerns. That history gives her a broad view of how problems overlap, such as when grief and chronic pain complicate mood or when stress fuels substance use.
She uses evidence-based techniques to help people build coping skills and change patterns that get in the way of living well. In sessions Christine talks through concrete strategies for sleep, eating concerns, anger, and communication problems. She also addresses complicated issues like attachment, body image, and caregiver stress.
The focus is on practical changes clients can try between meetings. Christine offers flexible online and phone formats to fit busy lives and different needs. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English.
Getting started is a simple online matching process followed by scheduling.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to target specific problems. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress; it teaches practical steps for sleep, routines, and slowing down racing thoughts. Another approach emphasizes working through trauma-related reactions and grief by using stepped, manageable exercises that help a person feel less overwhelmed and regain daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That can mean trying a technique for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online formats make those methods easier to use in real life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstrations, phone sessions are useful when video is not practical, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins or help rehearse coping plans between sessions. These options offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, different energy levels, or varying internet bandwidth, while keeping the focus on practical progress.
