About Christine
Christine McKenna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Hampshire with four years of professional experience. She helps people manage addictions, cope with trauma and abuse, process grief and loss, and build self-esteem. She also supports those facing life transitions and related stresses such as first responder issues and veteran concerns.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She treats the person, not a label, and starts by listening to what matters most right now. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with clear steps people can try between meetings.
Christine uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking patterns, client-centered methods to follow the person’s priorities, and acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and next actions. She also brings experience with EMDR and motivational interviewing when those fit the work.
People can expect direct talk about problems and options. Christine helps break larger issues into smaller, manageable steps. She explains techniques in plain language and checks in on how they are working.
Her background includes supporting people through domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, natural disaster recovery, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and military-related issues. That range informs a practical style focused on getting through difficult moments and building everyday coping skills.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used during online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take actions that fit those values. It can help when someone feels stuck, faces life changes, or wants to practice new habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and working through difficult reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense based on goals and preferences. That means trying a practical technique, reviewing how it worked, and adjusting the plan together.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how Christine runs sessions. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy week. It also allows for shorter check-ins when people need quick support, or longer meetings when more intensive work is needed. Talk with the therapist about pacing and session length so arrangements match everyday life and your goals.
