About Christine
Christine Crawford is a licensed master social worker with 37 years of clinical experience in Michigan. She focuses on practical help for people dealing with anxiety, stress, parenting challenges, grief, depression, and relationship strain. Christine aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for everyday life.
She brings long experience working with family-of-origin issues, blended family dynamics, and the particular stresses parents face. She also supports people managing ADHD, autism spectrum experiences, impulsivity, and disruptive mood concerns.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to multicultural issues and the impact of prejudice and discrimination. In sessions she prioritizes clear, usable strategies. That includes help with emotional regulation, communication skills, and coping plans for life changes.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide problem-solving rather than relying on jargon. Christine describes her style as compassionate and respectful. She listens for each person’s history and cultural background before suggesting next steps.
The result is a practical plan that fits the client’s day-to-day life. Her practice supports people facing compassion fatigue and those recovering from loss or major transitions. She helps clients set small goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress over time.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Many clients respond well to structured, evidence-based approaches that teach skills for managing symptoms. One common focus is behavioral strategies that break problems into small tasks and build new habits over time; these are useful for anxiety, stress, and mood management. Another helpful approach is communication and family-focused work that teaches concrete ways to improve listening, set boundaries, and handle conflict in blended or complex family situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and daily realities. That decision is revisited as progress is made so methods can be adjusted together.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging can serve for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and stay consistent with treatment.
