About Christine
Christine Hubek is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 26 years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief or major life changes. Her work also addresses self-esteem, motivation, and confidence concerns.
Christine views each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. In sessions she listens for practical steps people can try between meetings. She helps people talk through feelings such as guilt, shame, isolation, and struggles around forgiveness and self-love.
Her approach favors clear, everyday language and concrete strategies. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what small changes could make daily life easier. She supports people coping with social anxiety and phobia by breaking concerns into manageable tasks and practicing new skills together.
Christine’s background across many settings gives her experience with loss, grief, and life transitions. She helps people name priorities and set realistic goals during stressful periods. Work often includes exploring sources of meaning and life purpose when people feel stuck or uncertain.
Practical problem solving and steady support are central to her style. Sessions tend to combine listening, planning, and homework that fits into ordinary schedules. People who want plain spoken guidance and steady follow-through often find this approach helpful.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
Many of the techniques Christine draws on are straightforward, evidence-based approaches that focus on today’s problems. Cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and social fear. Behavioral techniques focus on small, repeatable actions such as graded exposure for social anxiety or step-by-step routines to manage stress.She also uses problem-solving and values-focused work to help people cope with grief, life changes, and questions about purpose. This involves identifying priorities, setting small goals, and practicing skills between sessions to build momentum.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client will discuss which methods feel practical and realistic, then try a few to see what fits. Adjustments are made as needs and goals become clearer so the plan stays relevant.
Confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, school, or caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. Discuss format preferences during the matching process so sessions fit into everyday life.
