About Christine

Christine Dicus is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, person-focused care. She uses clear, straightforward methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship problems, and life transitions. She meets people where they are and helps them make realistic plans to feel better.

Christine draws on client-centered therapy to build a respectful, collaborative relationship. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going.

Background and approach

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. She has six years of clinical experience working in a range of settings. That background includes residential programs, jail and prison work, and traditional office practice.

Those experiences shaped a flexible, nonjudgmental style and a readiness to try practical solutions that fit daily life. Christine often begins with weekly sessions to build momentum and then adjusts the plan based on progress and goals.

She works with individual adults on concerns such as trauma and abuse, addictions, attachment and adoption-related issues, first responder stress, women's issues, and young adult challenges. She also helps people address LGBT-related concerns, career stress, and parenting or family stressors. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules.

Christine aims to find a pace and format that suit each person, and she collaborates on self-care and coping steps clients can use between meetings.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. In practice this means the therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps the person set goals that feel manageable. It is useful for people who need acceptance and a calm place to sort feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions to find practical steps that reduce symptoms. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing small behavioral changes that can improve mood and reduce anxiety or addictive patterns.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels undecided about change. The therapist asks open questions, highlights personal strengths, and supports small steps toward goals without pressure.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past attempts, and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. The plan is adjusted as progress is made, so the client stays involved in choosing what feels most helpful.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or fit lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging support shorter updates, coaching between sessions, or ongoing reflection when writing helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines.
