About Christine

Christine Goodstein is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience. She practices in Delaware and brings a straightforward, supportive approach to people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and low self-esteem.

She centers sessions on each person's story and strengths. She listens for what matters most and helps clients build practical steps toward clearer thinking and steadier mood. Christine frames progress as a series of small, doable changes rather than a single big fix.

Her background includes work in healthcare, group homes, schools, and correctional settings. That variety shaped her skill at working with people from different walks of life and different life stages. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, mood concerns, and problems with motivation and confidence.

Sessions focus on everyday problems like family communication, financial stress, and life purpose alongside deeper issues such as attachment wounds, post-traumatic stress, and chronic illness. She also helps people navigating adoption or foster care histories and pregnancy or childbirth transitions.

Christine aims to create a partnership in which clients set goals and she offers guidance and tools. She encourages steady progress, acknowledges setbacks, and adjusts plans as needed. To begin, people select Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online work and goals

Christine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with clearer, more balanced thoughts to reduce anxiety and depressive mood. This type of work is useful for daily stress, motivation problems, and mood regulation.

Another approach emphasizes processing trauma and attachment wounds through careful, paced conversation and skill building. This helps people who struggle with past abuse, abandonment, or difficulties connecting with others to develop more stable relationships and self-care routines.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Christine works together with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and life demands, and then adapts methods over time as progress and needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep appointments during life transitions. It can also allow shorter check-ins when people need brief support or phone-based conversations when camera use is difficult. Licensed professionals can tailor sessions to what fits a person’s schedule and comfort.
