About Christine
Christine Toler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and relationship struggles. Christine also helps with self-esteem, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and the practical strain of life changes.
She describes her style as solution-focused and non-judgmental, using cognitive approaches to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Christine draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns and test small behavior changes. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people slow down and notice what is happening in the moment.
Christine trained and holds licensure as an LPC in Tennessee and New Jersey. She began working as a school counselor in 2006 and has been licensed as a professional counselor since 2010. Her own early experience as a therapy client shaped her interest in practical problem solving for everyday difficulties.
In sessions she prioritizes clear steps and actions - noticing thoughts, trying different responses, and checking what helps. She emphasizes that understanding a problem is only the start and that change comes from repeated, doable actions. Christine shares that she continues personal growth while supporting others, and she keeps the focus on straightforward strategies clients can use between meetings.
People considering therapy with her are invited to consider issues like panic, compulsive behaviors, attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and young adult transitions. She works in English and practices in New Jersey.
How her approaches translate to online work
Christine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that drive worry and avoidance, then try small behavioral changes to see what shifts. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps, tracking patterns, and assigning brief experiments between meetings to test new responses.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Those techniques help reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness, which can support progress on anxiety, stress, and grief. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past experiences are part of current distress, emphasizing careful pacing, grounding skills, and stabilizing strategies before deeper processing.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level, and adjust over time based on what helps. This is an active process that includes review of progress and changes to the plan as needed.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to continue work during life transitions. Licensed professionals who offer online appointments often use these formats to help therapy fit into everyday schedules.
