About Christine

Christine O'Neill is a licensed counselor (LPC, LCPC) based in Colorado who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

With 18 years of clinical experience she combines warm, interactive support with practical, goal-oriented coaching to help clients take concrete steps toward change. Her approach often includes short tasks between sessions to reinforce progress and build skills over time.

She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) alongside client-centered and motivational techniques to meet individual needs, and she brings trauma-informed perspectives to grief, parenting, chronic illness, and other complex situations. Christine values humor and directness as therapeutic tools, using them to normalize difficulties and create space for new perspectives.

She accepts international clients and offers therapy in English through a variety of online formats to accommodate different preferences and schedules.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with online access

Christine often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting, empathetic environment where clients explore values and goals at their own pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is another tool she employs to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills when overwhelm or intense emotions are present.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, adjusting techniques as goals evolve and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy with Christine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to integrate therapy into daily life, allowing clients to engage from varied locations and to choose the format that helps them reflect and participate most effectively.
