About Christine
Christine Lau is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She practices from North Carolina and brings 22 years of clinical experience to sessions. Christine often supports people coping with grief, life changes, compassion fatigue, and workplace strain.
She combines practical, short-term tools with reflective work. Christine uses brief solution-focused strategies to find concrete next steps. She also uses cognitive behavioral methods to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
Christine has a nursing background and uses that experience when people face illness, chronic pain, cancer, hospice care, or caregiving strain. That background helps her speak plainly about health-related concerns and about planning for end-of-life needs. Sessions typically start by clarifying what the person most wants to change.
Christine helps set simple goals and checks progress each week. If an approach is not helping, she suggests alternatives or a different therapist match. Her style is collaborative and practical.
She teaches skills people can use between sessions, such as mindfulness and small behavior changes. Christine focuses on usable strategies that fit each person’s life and priorities. To begin, people answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
Christine works in English and holds licenses in North Carolina and Minnesota as LCSW and LICSW.
Evidence-based techniques for online care
Christine uses evidence-based techniques such as brief solution-focused work, which helps identify small, practical steps toward improvement and keeps the focus on the future rather than rehashing the past. This approach is often useful for people who want fast, actionable change.She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help spot and change thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, stress, and unhelpful behavior. These methods teach simple skills to reframe thoughts and test new behaviors in daily life. Mindfulness and meditation practices are incorporated to help with stress, compassion fatigue, and coping during illness or caregiving.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels helpful. That collaborative process makes it easier to find techniques that fit a person's needs and pace.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and deeper work, while phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth situations. Chat and messaging make it simple to keep momentum between appointments or to do shorter check-ins during a busy week. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
