About Christine

Christine "Christie" Kraft is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting strain, and trauma-related concerns. She speaks plainly and listens closely so parents can talk through what feels overwhelming. Her approach aims to make early steps feel manageable rather than daunting.

With 25 years of experience, Christie draws on practical methods to address family conflict, attachment worries, and issues like guilt and shame. She emphasizes the client's strengths and respects each person's story when building a plan for change.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on small, usable skills that fit daily life. Christie blends several approaches to match the person in front of her. She uses strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation skills.

Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationships and patterns that began in early life. Parents often come for help with separation, communication breakdowns, and rebuilding trust after painful events. Christie offers straightforward tools for improving self-esteem, social anxiety, and women's issues so people can regain confidence in day-to-day interactions.

Her style is calm, patient, and collaborative. She invites clients to set clear goals and practices skills between sessions. The aim is steady progress that fits a busy family life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Christine blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in straightforward ways. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them while focusing on what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they connect and communicate.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Christie will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then try methods that fit. She adjusts the plan over time so techniques match what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can work when a quicker check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are handy for short updates, coaching between meetings, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options help people fit therapy into busy family and work schedules while keeping treatment consistent and approachable.
