About Christine

Christine Toler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and parenting strain. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what is most pressing. Christine aims to move from understanding to practical steps that create change.

She began believing in therapy after her own early experience as a child and has kept that perspective through her career. Christine has worked as a counselor since 2006 and has held LPC credentials in Tennessee and New Jersey. Her decade of focused practice includes time with teens and adults, and she brings that long view into each session.

Christine uses straightforward, solution-focused cognitive approaches. She pairs that with mindfulness practices and trauma-focused methods when they fit the issue. Sessions emphasize clear strategies clients can try between meetings and steady progress rather than only talking about problems.

She is open about being both a counselor and a person who continues to learn. That personal awareness shapes how she meets people - with honesty and without judgment. Christine aims to create space for clients to name hard feelings and take actionable steps toward relief.

Her work often addresses family stress, relationship challenges, attachment and abandonment concerns, and coping with life changes. People looking for concrete tools and a therapist who values steady effort may find her practical, empathetic style useful.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Christine commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and panic. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on addressing the impact of traumatic events and building safety and coping skills to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel time and making it easier to schedule appointments around work or family commitments. If you want to pursue online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. The focus will remain on practical skills, regular check-ins, and applying techniques between sessions to support steady change.
