About Christine

Christine Callahan is a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland with 33 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, compassion fatigue, anger, and life changes. Christine works with people facing chronic illness, caregiving strain, career stress, and challenges like depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Her style centers on clear, practical conversation. She listens, helps name what’s happening, and uses proven approaches to address patterns of thought and behavior. Sessions aim to make feelings and reactions easier to understand and manage over time.

Christine draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, narrative methods, and psychodynamic ideas. She uses these approaches to help people sort out values, change unhelpful habits, and rewrite troubling stories they tell themselves. Sessions often move between present-day coping skills and looking at past influences on current reactions.

People bring concerns like anger that shows up at home or work, grief after a loss, burnout from caregiving, or the strain of chronic health problems. Christine helps clients find clearer ways to respond rather than reacting on impulse. She also supports those dealing with intimacy or family-related stress and identity concerns in the LGBT community.

Therapy logistics reflect the practical side of care. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Christine conducts work in English and practices in Maryland. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to someone and teaching skills to act in line with those values even when strong emotions appear. It is useful for anger that comes from feeling stuck or overwhelmed, and for life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers clear strategies to change patterns that keep problems going. It can help with anxiety, anger reactions, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes an open, respectful dialogue where the person’s experience leads the work, helping build steadier self-understanding and practical coping.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Methods can shift over time as problems change or new priorities arise, and decisions are made together rather than imposed.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and using shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Licensed professionals can use online meetings to teach skills, review progress, and adjust strategies between sessions, which can make it easier to apply what is learned to everyday situations.
