About Christina
Christina Garry is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, mood shifts, and workplace strain. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, sleep trouble, self-esteem struggles, and career concerns.
Christina takes a practical, down-to-earth approach. She believes each person knows their own life best and works collaboratively to remove barriers to change. Sessions focus on what is getting in the way of the life, career, or relationships a person wants. She treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Her work draws on client-centered methods that follow the client's lead and on cognitive behavioral therapy techniques that look at thoughts and behaviors. Christina tailors sessions to fit each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Conversations are focused and goal-oriented while remaining flexible to the client’s pace.
Over two decades she has supported people through relationship problems, workplace issues, compassion fatigue, aging and caregiver stress, and feelings of isolation. She also addresses concerns such as bipolar disorder, paranoia, and women’s issues when they affect daily functioning and wellbeing.
If someone is ready to take another step, Christina offers coaching-style support alongside therapy work to help set goals and build coping skills. The emphasis is on practical steps that fit into everyday life and on empowering clients to make lasting change.
How Christina’s approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist offers empathic attention, asks questions that help a person clarify goals, and adjusts the pace to match what feels right. This approach helps when someone needs understanding, validation, and support while deciding next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. It uses simple, practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress related to work or life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will collaborate with the client to decide which methods make sense based on their goals, needs, and preferences. She combines client-centered listening with CBT tools when that fits, and adapts plans over time as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and let people check in during a lunch break or between appointments. It can also allow for phone-only check-ins when video is difficult and for flexible scheduling that supports work and caregiving demands.
