About Christine
Christine Wagner is a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience. She offers calm, practical support for stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship strain, parenting worries, and LGBT-related concerns. She also helps people facing chronic illness or pain, gender dysphoria, post-traumatic stress, and the everyday shifts that come with young adulthood.
Christine practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. Christine aims to meet people where they are and keep things simple in sessions.
Background and approach
She listens closely, helps people name what matters to them, and suggests small steps to try between meetings. Her style feels collaborative and down-to-earth rather than overly clinical. Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
She also uses client-centered principles and mindfulness practice to help people build coping skills, manage strong emotions, and process difficult memories. Mindfulness is a regular part of her approach and personal practice. Much of Christine's background is in hospital and outpatient behavioral health settings.
She began providing telehealth counseling in March 2020 and continues to offer remote formats alongside other options. She is also an adjunct professor and brings a teaching mindset to her clinical work, explaining techniques clearly and helping people practice them. People who choose to work with her can expect individualized care that focuses on practical changes.
Christine emphasizes collaboration, steady pacing, and real-world tools so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting attention toward what matters most. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and the strong emotions tied to them by using structured processing techniques to help the brain reframe past events. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better relationships, making it useful for overwhelming emotion or persistent stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and pace. She combines approaches when helpful and checks in regularly to adjust direction based on progress and preference.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for full sessions with visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and chat or text can support quick updates or ongoing check-ins between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain momentum between appointments.
