About Christine
Christine Cocchia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with 11 years of experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and family concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.
Christine keeps sessions straightforward. She listens without judging and focuses on practical steps. She helps people notice what is already working and adjust habits that get in the way. Conversations cover emotions, behavior, and everyday routines that affect mood and relationships.
Her approach draws from client-centered methods. That means the client’s perspective guides the work and goals come from the client’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to try small behavior changes that can make a difference.
Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies appear in sessions as well. Mindfulness practices help people calm attention and respond rather than react. Solution-focused work narrows in on immediate steps and measurable short-term goals.
Christine has supported people across life stages, including older adults, and addresses issues like caregiver stress, attachment concerns, body image, codependency, communication problems, and isolation. She also works with concerns tied to immigration, grief, guilt and shame, and impulsivity.
To begin, clients use the site matching process to choose online therapy options and schedule a first appointment. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Christine uses client-centered therapy to center the conversation on what the client wants to change. That approach focuses on listening, clarifying priorities, and setting goals the client feels ready to pursue.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior shifts. CBT is practical and often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into thought patterns and actions that can be adjusted.
Mindfulness practices are used to help calm attention and increase awareness of automatic reactions. Brief mindfulness exercises can be worked into sessions to support emotion regulation and reduce reactivity.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try an approach for a period, and adjust based on what the client reports and what the goals require.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. People often choose online sessions to fit appointments into work or family schedules, to have shorter check-ins when time is limited, or to avoid travel time. Online work can make it easier to try evidence-based techniques from home and to carry exercises into daily life.
