About Christine
Christine Dicus is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Missouri. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and addresses related issues like depression, addiction, grief, and relationship strain. She uses approachable language and practical steps to help people feel more in control.
With six years of clinical experience, Christine blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing. She starts by listening to each person’s story, then builds a plan that fits their needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are personalized rather than one-size-fits-all. Christine has worked in a range of settings, including residential programs and correctional facilities, which shaped a flexible, problem-solving style. That background informs her work with people facing trauma, family disruptions, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic sexual behavior.
She supports parents coping with adoption or foster care challenges and people dealing with attachment or first responder issues. Christine also helps young adults and women navigate life transitions, career stress, and self-esteem concerns. In sessions she typically meets weekly at first to build a plan, then adjusts frequency as goals are met.
She encourages practical self-care and scheduling that fits each person’s life. Communication options include video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to make follow-up easier.
How Christine’s Approaches Work Online
Christine uses client-centered therapy to begin by hearing each person’s priorities and building a plan around what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful, listening-based space to sort out decisions and feelings.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and then teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns because it offers tools you can use between sessions.
Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit for people facing addiction or readiness-to-change issues. It focuses on the person's own reasons for change and supports small, sustainable steps forward.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. Christine will work with each person to try methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level, and she will adapt the plan as progress is made.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for more in-depth work and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can fit a work break or lower bandwidth needs. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, and reminders between meetings. These formats make scheduling easier and let people keep continuity of care when life gets busy.
