About Christine

Christine Goodstein is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of professional experience. She practices in Delaware and lists stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence among the concerns she helps people with.

She has worked across health care, group homes, schools, and correctional settings. That variety means she has experience talking with people at different life stages and in different circumstances. Christine uses practical conversation to help people notice what is getting in the way and what strengths they already have.

Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps and clearer thinking about next moves. She pays attention to patterns in relationships, how stress shows up in daily life, and how past experiences can shape present choices. Christine also supports people dealing with issues tied to adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, chronic illness or pain, and financial stress.

People who are rethinking work, parenting, or relationships often want help with purpose and direction. Christine will talk through current options, obstacles, and small experiments that can show what matters next. She also works with people facing pregnancy and childbirth challenges, self-harm thoughts, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted. To begin, users choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Clinical approaches and how online sessions work

Christine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. One common approach addresses thought patterns and behavior - helping people notice automatic thoughts, test them, and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method is useful for stress, anxiety, and depression.

Another approach looks at how past relationships shape present behavior. That work helps people recognize attachment patterns, improve communication, and make different choices in current relationships. It can be helpful for relationship problems, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. This is a joint process that can shift over time as priorities change.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain regular check-ins, try shorter appointments when needed, or avoid commuting on workdays, depending on the formats offered.
