About Christianne
Christianne Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and related issues such as parenting and self-esteem. Her practice also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and career or life changes.
She favors practical conversation and clear steps over jargon. Sessions focus on understanding how patterns from your family of origin affect present behavior. Christianne helps people notice repeated roles, expectations, and communication habits that keep causing problems now.
Her approach blends methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-informed work and client-centered principles. That means clients talk through thoughts and feelings, try new responses, and look at how early relationships shaped current expectations. Emotion-focused ideas are sometimes used to deepen emotional awareness.
Christianne works with adults who want to change how they respond to stress, improve relationships, or untangle long-standing family patterns. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiving stress.
She has experience helping people manage mood disorders, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and compassion fatigue. Sessions include practical skills for coping, clearer communication, and steps to make day-to-day life more manageable. To begin, clients follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches used in online sessions
Christianne often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed work alongside client-centered methods. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions.Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape expectations and roles in adult life. That work helps people recognize repeated family-of-origin patterns and change how they relate to others. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the client’s own goals guide the work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they may try different strategies and adjust plans based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discussing practical arrangements up front lets the therapist and client choose what will work best for regular meetings.
