About Christine

Christine O'Connor is a licensed clinical social worker in New Hampshire with 27 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, or big life changes. She works with clients facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career transitions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Many people seek her out when they need practical support for everyday struggles.

She treats each person as the expert of their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear goals and simple steps that feel doable between meetings. Christine listens closely, offers feedback, and helps clients try new ways of handling problems that have felt stuck.

Her approach is down-to-earth and goal oriented. She aims to make sessions useful from the first month onward, tackling immediate stressors while also looking at patterns that keep problems returning. Christine can help people manage symptoms and make changes that fit their life and values.

Over nearly three decades of practice she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, eating and sleeping difficulties, chronic illness, and caregiving stress. That breadth helps when issues overlap or are complex. She supports people through practical problem solving and steady emotional support.

Approaches that guide online work and progress

Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on strengths and practical change. One common approach is goal-focused problem solving, which breaks larger problems into small, manageable steps to reduce stress and improve daily functioning. This approach is useful for anxiety, career challenges, and coping with life transitions.

Another element is trauma-informed care that pays attention to how past hurt affects current feelings and behavior. This helps when people are dealing with grief, abuse, or long-standing patterns that contribute to depression and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients choose methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. Decisions are collaborative and practical, with a focus on what helps between sessions.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm your preferred options before booking. In general, working with a licensed professional online can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency and apply what they learn in everyday situations.
