About Christine

Christine Perez is a licensed therapist who uses compassionate, client-focused methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 24 years of practice, she blends practical strategies and empathic listening to support clients confronting issues such as self-esteem concerns, social anxiety, workplace stress, and midlife shifts. Her background includes training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside other therapeutic approaches, which she weaves into individualized care plans.

Perez also addresses a broad range of related concerns including control issues, eating and food-related difficulties, postpartum depression, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and self-harm. She works with matters tied to relationships and family dynamics, including infidelity, jealousy, forgiveness, and family problems, and can help clients explore life purpose and coping during major changes.

Clients encounter a respectful, collaborative environment focused on developing coping skills, fostering resilience, and identifying practical steps toward desired change. Licensed in Kansas and Missouri as LCPC and LPC, Christine draws on long-term clinical experience to tailor treatment approaches to each person’s goals and preferences.

Sessions emphasize clear goals, evidence-informed techniques, and ongoing adjustment of strategies to fit each client’s needs.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Christine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one core approach, helping clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic listening and collaboration so clients can explore values, build self-understanding, and set personally meaningful goals. These methods are chosen to suit common concerns like relationship difficulty, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and she works together with each client to determine which methods fit best. Treatment is shaped by the person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and techniques are adjusted as progress is reviewed so the work remains practical and relevant.

Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access care from home or work and allow therapy to continue when in-person meetings are difficult, while keeping focus on therapeutic goals and consistent progress.
