Christine Garwick-Foley, LPC

Christine Garwick-Foley is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who helps people navigate major life shifts and emotional pain. She focuses on grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, and motivation. Her manner is gentle and practical, aimed at helping people regain momentum and reclaim everyday life.

She sees people as whole beings with physical, emotional, and spiritual parts that interact. Sessions go beyond talking alone; she engages the resources a person already has and introduces practical tools to build coping and resilience. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

Christine brings 25 years of experience in counseling adults. Her background includes approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Those methods are used to address grief, chronic pain, relationship strain, and trauma-related concerns.

She also notices issues that often accompany midlife changes, including questions about purpose, attachment, and loss. Christine helps people sort through feelings of emptiness, abandonment, and life transitions so they can make clearer choices and feel steadier in daily life.

Her office is in Minnesota and she works primarily with adults. People who want to begin are invited to follow the site's Start Therapy process to match with her and arrange a first appointment.

How Christine’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship. Online work can let that listening continue when coming in person is hard, and it focuses on understanding the person’s concerns and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In online sessions CBT can include short homework, thought records, and step-by-step plans to manage anxiety, depression, or stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and work with strong emotions to improve how they relate to themselves and others. Online conversations can still explore feelings, uncover patterns, and practice new ways of responding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. She will adjust techniques as needed based on what helps most.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to continue steady progress and practice skills between meetings.
