Experienced LCPC focused on healing and resilience

About Christine

Christine Nazario is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 22 years of experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress and anxiety, heal from trauma and abuse, and cope with grief and loss, while also addressing issues related to self-esteem, motivation, and depression.

Background and approach

Her long career includes work with individuals who are hearing impaired and those needing hospice or end-of-life counseling, and she communicates in both English and American Sign Language. Christine emphasizes a collaborative, strengths-based approach that centers the client as the authority on their own life.

She draws on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical skills while maintaining a client-centered stance that honors each person’s pace and priorities. Beginning therapy is framed as an act of courage, and she offers steady support as clients work toward greater resilience, clarity, and well-being.

Sessions are offered through multiple online formats, and Christine accepts international clients. Prospective clients can start by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christine uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work; this approach helps people feel heard and supports personal strengths and goals. She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to choose or adapt methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences so that treatment feels relevant and achievable rather than prescriptive.

Online therapy with Christine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into a busy life, and access support from locations outside Illinois or internationally when appropriate.
