About Christina
Christina Bachenberg offers straightforward, respectful support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or major life changes. She is a licensed clinician in Maryland with an MD and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential. Her approach is practical and personal, focused on what the individual needs in the moment.
Christina draws on nearly 12 years of experience to help people tackle depression, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, and struggles with body image or self-love.
Background and approach
She helps clients sort out communication problems, control issues, guilt, shame, and isolation. Sessions aim to clarify goals and build skills that fit daily life. Her work blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral ideas and emotionally-focused techniques.
That means conversations start with the client's concerns and then move toward concrete strategies for changing thoughts, managing feelings, and repairing important relationships. Motivational and solution-focused methods are used to keep the work practical and goal-oriented. Christina adapts the pace and techniques to each person.
Some people focus on short-term problem solving while others explore deeper emotional patterns. She emphasizes collaboration and respectful listening as the foundation for whatever comes next. People in Maryland and elsewhere who prefer online options can meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Christina will work with each client to shape sessions around their goals and daily life.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Christina uses client-centered therapy to make sessions about the person's priorities, listening first and following the client's lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice specific skills that reduce anxiety, panic, and compulsive behaviors. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps people understand and reorganize emotional responses in important relationships, which can ease isolation and improve communication.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Christina will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then decide together which methods to emphasize. That teamwork helps keep sessions practical and aligned with each person's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so sessions can fit into busy schedules. Video lets people work face-to-face when visual cues matter, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in, chat is handy for short exchanges, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing family, work, and daily life.
