Background and approach

She helps people unpack compassion fatigue and the exhaustion that comes from caregiving or demanding roles. Christen also supports people who are navigating questions of identity, life purpose, and midlife shifts. People seeking help with isolation, loneliness, guilt, or shame will find a calm space to talk things through and try small changes.

Christen pays attention to practical skills people can use between sessions, along with gentle reflection about what matters most to them. She encourages self-compassion and building habits that support wellbeing. Based in Virginia, Christen uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit different schedules.

Sessions are scheduled through a simple matching and booking process. She asks people to bring their goals and current struggles so the work can start right away. Christen holds the credential VA Psychologist 0810008645.

Her plainspoken style aims to reduce overwhelm and make progress feel possible one step at a time.

Evidence-based approaches for anxiety and life changes

Christen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical steps and real-life improvements. One common approach emphasizes developing coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavior changes that reduce overwhelm and help people manage day-to-day tasks. Another approach centers on mood and behavior patterns to address depression and low self-esteem by identifying unhelpful thinking and trying small experiments to test new ways of acting and feeling.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christen collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time and checks in about what is helpful so therapy stays focused and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy or unpredictable schedules. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when bandwidth and time allow. Phone sessions can be a good fit when video isn't convenient or when a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, between-session coaching, or people who prefer writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while keeping the focus on practical progress.
