About Caroline
Caroline Christian practices with a client-centered approach, blending collaborative listening with practical strategies rooted in cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness.
Background and approach
She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with seven years of clinical experience in Illinois and Missouri, and she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders while building self-esteem and motivation.
Caroline guides clients through concerns related to coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family problems, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and difficulties with impulsivity and disruptive mood regulation. Her style is intentionally relaxed to reduce the sense of clinical formality, and she emphasizes identifying and strengthening each person’s existing resources to address current challenges.
She also supports exploration of sexuality and gender identity and works with issues like body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria. Sessions aim to be collaborative and nonjudgmental, with a focus on practical tools and self-compassion.
Caroline offers care in English and maintains professional licensure with MO LPC 2022047161 and IL LCPC 180013728 while working with clients located in Missouri.
Therapeutic approaches and online care options
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients identify their own strengths and goals; this approach is useful for building self-esteem, navigating identity questions, and working through life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replacing them with more adaptive behaviors and skills, which can be particularly effective for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and acceptance practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to determine which combination of client-centered support, CBT techniques, or mindfulness practices fits their needs and preferences, and adjustments can be made as goals evolve over time.
Online therapy with this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to engage in regular sessions and practical skill work without travel, and they make it easier to integrate therapeutic tools into daily life while coordinating around schedules and responsibilities.
