About Christianne

Christianne Griffin is a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin who draws on 24 years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and grief.

Background and approach

She focuses on understanding each persons story and helping them develop practical coping skills for challenges such as parenting, family conflict, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career transitions. Her practice also addresses concerns like ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem struggles.

Christianne blends evidence-informed methods with an empathic, client-centered stance to create a respectful and collaborative therapeutic relationship. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance-based and attachment-oriented strategies to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, build more flexible responses, and strengthen emotional connections.

Over two decades of work have included support for issues ranging from chronic illness and caregiver stress to communication problems and body image concerns. Clients can expect a thoughtful, strengths-focused approach that emphasizes skill building, emotional awareness, and realistic goal setting.

Christianne aims to help people regain balance, improve relationships, and move forward through life changes with greater self-compassion and resilience.

Online approaches that fit your needs

Christianne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she draws on to support increased psychological flexibility by clarifying values and practicing mindful acceptance of difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work around relationship patterns and attachment challenges by exploring early relational influences and improving emotional connection.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy itself, and Christianne treats this as a collaborative process. She assesses each person's concerns, goals, and preferences and tailors interventions accordingly, combining methods when it best supports progress and well-being.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular care, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity during life transitions while working with licensed professionals who adapt therapeutic tools to a virtual setting.
