About Christine
Christine Toler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress. She draws on personal and professional experience to create a straightforward, down-to-earth style that aims for real change. Christine believes therapy should move beyond understanding and toward action that improves daily life.
She has been licensed since 2010 and brings a decade of counseling experience to sessions. Her work often addresses depression, grief, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and relationship challenges.
Background and approach
She also helps with anger, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and the disruptions that come with life transitions. Christine uses practical approaches such as cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to help people test new ways of thinking and coping. She also incorporates trauma-focused methods when past events are getting in the way of current functioning.
Sessions tend to focus on clear steps and small, doable changes that build over time. People who prefer direct, compassionate guidance may find her style a good fit. She draws on a long personal history with therapy to stay grounded in what it feels like to be a client.
That perspective shapes how she talks through problems and plans next steps. Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Christine provides care in English and maintains licensure in New Jersey and Tennessee, reflecting a background in both school and clinical counseling.
Approaches That Work Well Online
Christine uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often helps with anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, and low mood by teaching specific skills to test and change patterns.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. Mindfulness can be useful for stress, anger, and compassion fatigue by bringing focus back to the present moment.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adjust techniques and homework so the plan matches the client’s needs.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging options let people check in between sessions or use shorter updates. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family life.
