About Christine
Christine O'Connor is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New Hampshire with over 27 years of professional experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Christine values each person's strengths and believes those strengths help guide change. She frames seeking help as a courageous step and provides steady support through that process.
In sessions she listens for practical ways to reduce daily strain and manage intense emotions. Christine focuses on clear, straightforward conversation and simple skills that can be used between meetings. She helps people sort priorities, set small goals, and practice ways to sleep better, eat more regularly, and reduce substance-related harms when those are issues.
Christine also assists with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, family stress, parenting strain, career stress, and the disruptions that come with major life changes. She brings long experience working with people facing compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, body image and eating difficulties, chronic illness and pain, and caregiver stress.
Her approach centers on honoring each person's experience while building doable coping strategies. She works with people to identify patterns that keep problems going and to try new behaviors in everyday life. When trauma and grief are present she moves at the person's pace and focuses on stabilizing symptoms before exploring deeper material.
Sessions are conducted in English. Christine accepts international clients; confirm current session options before booking.
Evidence-informed approaches for online coping and recovery
Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and symptom relief. One approach emphasizes teaching skills for managing stress and anxiety, such as breathing, pacing activities, and simple behavioral steps to reduce worry and improve sleep. These techniques are useful for day-to-day symptoms and for people juggling work, caregiving, or health concerns.Another common focus is on stabilizing responses after trauma and loss. This work starts with grounding strategies and pacing so people feel steadier before addressing difficult memories. It also includes coping plans for cravings, grief reactions, or overwhelming emotions tied to losses and major life changes.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Christine works with each person to match methods to goals and preferences. She listens to what helps, adjusts the plan when needed, and checks progress together rather than imposing a single method.

It also lets people join from different locations, which can help when life or work requires flexibility.
