About Christina
Christina Rydeen helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, anger, and low self-esteem. She focuses on common life challenges like grief, trauma, mood shifts, relationship strain, and coping with big changes. Christina is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and also holds a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential, LCPC, with 14 years of experience working in Missouri and nearby areas.
Her style is straightforward and warm. Sessions are a place to speak plainly about what is hard and to try practical steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
She uses methods that guide people to notice thoughts and feelings and then choose what matters most to them. Christina draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns. She also uses Client-Centered techniques to listen deeply and Emotionally-Focused ideas to look at how emotions shape relationships.
These tools are chosen to match the concern at hand, whether it is anxiety, addiction, mood symptoms, or body image worries. People meet her to work on things like communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness challenges, and rebuilding self-worth after loss or conflict. She encourages realistic goals and small steps that add up over time.
The aim is to help people feel more able to handle daily demands and find clearer direction. Christina supports people who want a calm, respectful space to sort through feelings and behaviors. She offers care that balances listening with practical strategies so clients leave sessions with something to try.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then take steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants clearer direction for daily choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete techniques to change patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. This approach can help with mood disorders, social anxiety, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and what feels most helpful, then try approaches together. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted based on what is working for the person.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people send thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily life while still using evidence-based techniques.
