About Christine
Christine Goodstein is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California and Delaware with 13 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and problems with self-esteem. She works in straightforward language and focuses on practical steps rather than jargon.
Christine has worked across healthcare, group homes, schools, and correctional settings. That variety means she has seen how everyday stresses, health issues, and life transitions affect moods and behavior. She draws on that background when talking through what is happening now and what might help next.
In sessions she treats people as people who know their own stories. She listens for strengths and small skills that can be used right away. Conversations tend to focus on clear goals, changes that fit daily life, and problem-solving for immediate concerns like sleep, money stress, or conflict with others.
Christine also addresses longer-standing issues tied to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and post-traumatic stress. She brings an understanding of chronic pain, illness, and disability into treatment plans when those factors are present. Her approach balances practical strategies and attention to how past experiences shape current patterns.
Clients can expect direct, plain talk about next steps. The emphasis is on figuring out what to try, checking how it went, and adjusting as needed. For people juggling work, parenting, or health needs, she aims to make therapy fit into real life rather than add more pressure.
BHow sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and remote sessions
Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach helps people break large problems into small, manageable tasks and build routine coping skills for anxiety and depression. This method is useful when stress and mood interfere with daily functioning.Another approach looks at patterns that come from past relationships and attachment. It helps people notice repeated reactions and try new ways of communicating or setting boundaries. This can be helpful for relationship strain, abandonment concerns, and some trauma-related difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify what fits their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a short set of strategies, reviewing how they worked, and then adapting the plan together.
The practical benefits of online sessions include the ability to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to reduce travel time. Because the biography does not list specific remote formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to have regular check-ins and to apply new skills between meetings without adding extra commuting.
