About Christine
Christine Callahan, LCSW-C, is licensed in Maryland and has 33 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, depression, coaching, and ADHD. She uses a mix of approaches to help people get through difficult periods and make practical changes.
Christine describes her work as focused on straightforward conversation and practical strategies. She adapts sessions to the problems people bring, whether that is grief after a loss, managing chronic illness, or coping with workplace strain. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different responses.
Her background includes long experience supporting people through medical and caregiving stress. That experience informs work with aging and geriatric issues, cancer and hospice situations, chronic pain and disability, and caregiver burden. She also addresses family problems, communication difficulties, divorce and separation, and domestic violence concerns.
Therapeutic approaches she uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, narrative methods, psychodynamic ideas, and client-centered work. These approaches are used to reduce unhelpful thinking, strengthen values-based choices, and tell a clearer story about past events.
Sessions cover practical topics such as forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, midlife crisis, and career transitions. Christine frames therapy as a place to sort through options and try concrete steps. To begin, she asks about what is most urgent and what small changes might help soon.

Therapeutic approaches used for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and connect with personal values so they can take small, meaningful steps despite difficult feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that maintain distress. It is practical and problem-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills training.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client’s concerns and supports self-directed problem solving, which can help with grief, relationship and life transition issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses and adjusted based on what is or is not helping.
