About Christine
Christine Manturuk is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with about 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem struggles, life changes, trauma and abuse, anger, mood disorders, and related concerns. Sessions are presented plainly and directly, aimed at helping people manage upsetting feelings and make practical changes.
Christine uses a variety of therapeutic ideas rather than a single method. She draws on client-centered work that focuses on the person's perspective, psychodynamic ideas about patterns that repeat over time, and mindfulness practices to help people notice how thoughts and feelings arise. Motivational Interviewing informs how she supports people who want to make changes but feel stuck.
Her background includes a master's degree in art therapy and counseling from Drexel College of Nursing and Health Professions, completed in 2015. She also completed a three-year Gestalt training program in 2021. Those trainings contribute to how she listens for meaning and for opportunities to shift unhelpful habits.
In sessions she aims to be down-to-earth and straightforward. Conversations look at what is getting in the way now and small steps that might feel manageable. She helps people name patterns, tolerate hard feelings more clearly, and try out different responses to anger and stress.
People who choose her often want pragmatic support while also exploring deeper issues. The work can include focused skill practice, reflective conversation, and a steady review of progress over time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Christine integrates client-centered therapy by centering the conversation on each person's experiences and goals; this helps with anger that comes from feeling unheard or misunderstood. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring patterns and early influences that may shape how someone reacts under stress, which is useful when anger keeps returning in similar situations. Mindfulness therapy teaches noticing physical and emotional signals before they escalate, and it supports practical skills for calming down and responding differently.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as the work progresses so techniques change if they are not helpful.
Confirm current session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed here. In general, working remotely can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people use online sessions to practice skills between meetings and to maintain regular momentum in addressing anger, stress, and life transitions.
