About Christine
Christine O'Neill is a licensed therapist based in Colorado who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting challenges, and major life changes. She brings 18 years of experience as an LPC and LCPC to practical, down-to-earth work with clients. Her approach is warm and interactive, and she often treats sessions like coaching with small tasks to try between meetings.
Her style leans toward goal-oriented counseling that mixes talk with action.
Background and approach
Christine uses humor when appropriate to lighten hard topics and to keep conversations real. She encourages clients to set small, manageable steps that add up to change. Clinically she draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice patterns and try different choices.
She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing to support emotion regulation and motivation. These methods are used in whatever combination fits a person's needs. Christine often favors messaging and live chat formats because they give clients time to think through what they want to say and to absorb responses.
She also offers video and phone sessions when people prefer spoken conversation. Practical scheduling and a focus on clear goals are central to how she organizes care. With a background that spans mood disorders, addictions, grief, and relationship concerns, Christine helps people move from feeling stuck toward manageable change.
She works collaboratively to set realistic steps and to track progress along the way.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Christine uses client-centered therapy to build a trusting, respectful relationship where the client's concerns guide each session. This approach focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, which helps with motivation and clarity around parenting and life-stress issues.She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood problems, sleep and eating concerns, and many parenting-related stresses. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are incorporated when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed to manage intense feelings or conflict.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Christine will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions focus more on skills practice, coaching-style tasks, or conversational reflection.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat for back-and-forth text, and text-based messaging for thoughtful written exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to choose the format that best supports ongoing progress.
