About Christine

Christine Snead is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama with 15 years of experience in mental health care. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, grief, addiction issues, trauma, and other life changes. Christine also lists specific focus on blended family issues and adoption and foster care matters.

She uses Client-Centered Therapy to base sessions on what matters most to the person in front of her. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) informs her work around relationship and intimacy concerns.

In a typical session she listens, asks practical questions, and helps clients set small, doable steps. Sessions often include skill practice such as coping strategies for anxiety or methods to manage anger and cravings. Christine aims to make therapy straightforward and relevant to daily life in a blended household or when managing co-parenting and loyalty conflicts.

Her background includes a master’s degree from Auburn University and many years supporting people with parenting problems, career challenges, and mood concerns. She has experience with trauma, domestic violence, substance use issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among other areas.

Christine offers work that is collaborative and focused on concrete change. People typically leave sessions with at least one practical idea to try before the next meeting.

How Christine uses therapeutic approaches in online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s concerns. It means sessions begin with what matters most to the person and the therapist listens and reflects to help clarify goals. This approach is useful for people sorting out parenting roles, blended household tensions, or general life stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. It breaks problems into small parts and tests new responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and managing addictive urges, and it gives concrete skills to practice between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on feelings and how they show up in close relationships. In online work this can help people notice interaction patterns tied to intimacy or loyalty conflicts and try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the client’s goals and preferences. She adapts tools based on what the client needs most and checks in about what is or isn’t helpful.

Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around school, work, or caregiving duties.
