About Christine
Christine Schmitt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 11 years of experience. She is licensed in Kansas and Missouri and works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Christine keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She listens to what matters most and helps people talk through the specific thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck. She adapts her approach to each person rather than using one set method for everyone.
In practice she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. That means using methods with solid research behind them to help manage anxiety, process grief, and work through trauma-related reactions. Sessions often include clear, practical steps to try between meetings so progress is more than just talk.
She aims to be respectful and sensitive in session. Conversations focus on concrete problems like communication breakdowns, persistent guilt, or trouble managing stress. Clients can expect short-term goals as well as space to look at longer patterns that affect mood and relationships.
People who come to Christine often want a direct, orderly way to address what feels overwhelming. She asks about day-to-day routines and relationships, and then works with clients to build small, realistic changes. If you are carrying guilt or shame about something you did or who you are, she helps you examine those feelings and their effects on daily life.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with anxiety, grief, and trauma-related reactions. One common approach involves cognitive tools that examine unhelpful thoughts and teach practical ways to shift thinking and behavior. This can help when anxiety or guilt leads to avoidance or repeated negative self-talk.Another useful method focuses on processing painful experiences and their emotional impact. That work helps people notice how past events shape current reactions and find steadier ways to respond when memories or triggers appear. Both approaches aim to produce clear, doable strategies rather than only talking about feelings.
Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Christine will work with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews what is and isn’t working and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make therapy fit into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins on a lunch break or longer weekly meetings from wherever you are. They also let people use audio-only sessions when bandwidth is low or choose video when face-to-face cues help the conversation. Talk with Christine during the matching process about which session style will work best for your routine.
