About Christina
Christina Rydeen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Missouri. She has 14 years of clinical experience and lists stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and other mood and coping issues among her focus areas.
Christina emphasizes straightforward, practical work on the problems that bring people in. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, learning new ways to respond, and building skills that fit daily life. She talks through feelings and behaviors with clients and helps set manageable goals for change.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without being driven by them. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy ideas to keep the conversation grounded in the client's perspective, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques when emotions and relationships are central.
Christina often works on issues like anger, addiction-related struggles, caregiver stress, body image and attachment concerns. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, grief, and life transitions. Sessions aim to reduce reactive responses and increase intentional choices.
Clients should expect a collaborative style that mixes practical skill-building with time to process strong emotions. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than reacting on impulse. It can be useful for anger that comes from avoidance or avoidance-driven behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them against evidence, with practical exercises to reduce reactivity and change habits that keep anger and anxiety cycling.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans based on what helps in practice. That process often includes trying techniques in session and reviewing how they worked between meetings.
The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets clients practice skills in their usual environments and bring real-life examples to the session for immediate feedback.
