About Christine

Christine Savas helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma, and the strain that life changes can bring. She also supports those dealing with relationship challenges, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, career questions, and concerns related to LGBT identity. Christine is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois and uses straightforward, practical work in sessions.

Christine uses short, focused conversations and longer exploration when it fits the issue. She pays attention to how symptoms affect day-to-day life - work, relationships, and feelings about yourself - and tailors sessions to those impacts.

Background and approach

Her approach mixes different techniques so each plan matches the person in front of her. She has eight years of experience and has worked in non-profits with at-risk young adults in Chicago as well as in independent practice. Christine sees more than diagnoses; she looks at how struggles show up in behavior, routines, and roles.

That helps set clear, usable goals for therapy. Her clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness, and psychodynamic perspectives. Christine also brings knowledge of how nutrition, movement, and environmental factors interact with mental health and often discusses lifestyle alongside talk work.

Sessions are meant to be collaborative and practical. Christine aims to help people build skills, find clearer thinking patterns, and make daily changes that support longer term well-being.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life

Christine draws on evidence-based techniques that aim to change unhelpful thinking and build concrete coping skills. Cognitive behavioral strategies focus on identifying and shifting thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. These methods are useful for symptom relief and improving daily routines.

She also uses mindfulness-based practices to help reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. Mindfulness can help with sleep difficulties, managing strong emotions, and reducing ongoing worry. In addition, psychodynamic ideas are occasionally used to look at patterns in relationships and recurring emotional themes that affect current functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Christine will work with each person to decide which techniques best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video lets you use visual cues during conversation, phone can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing written support. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or a busy day while keeping the focus on practical progress and accessible care.
