About Christine
Christine Cocchia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of experience who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, parenting worries, trauma, and family-related concerns. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and focuses on practical steps people can use each week. Christine works in New Jersey and communicates in English.
Her approach is grounded in Client-Centered Therapy, which means she listens carefully and partners with people to set goals that matter to them.
Background and approach
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Mindfulness techniques are used when helpful to bring attention to the present moment and reduce overwhelm. Christine favors short-term strategies when that fits a person's needs, and she also supports deeper, longer work when people want it.
Sessions often include talking through current problems, practicing coping skills, and planning small steps between meetings. She pays attention to attachment, communication patterns, and how past experiences influence present feelings. Her experience includes work with issues such as caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, body image, codependency, domestic violence, guilt and shame, immigration-related stress, impulsivity, and loneliness.
Christine aims to help people find balance, increase self-compassion, and improve day-to-day functioning. People who choose Christine can expect a collaborative, respectful tone aimed at practical progress. She helps people notice strengths, try new behaviors, and track what is or is not working.
Taking a first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step clearer and more manageable.

Online support
How core approaches guide online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. In practice this means the therapist asks open questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people set goals that match their values and daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches specific skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build new routines that reduce anxiety or improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Christine will work together with each person to decide what fits best. That may mean starting with straightforward skill-building like CBT exercises, then using client-centered conversations to address deeper themes. The plan is shaped by the person's goals, preferences, and response to different techniques.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people work face-to-face when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to be shorter. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels, while keeping the focus on useful tools and steady progress.
