About Christine

Christine Randall Walker is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of professional experience in California. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She presents a calm, steady presence and aims to make starting therapy straightforward for busy lives.

Her background includes degrees in divinity, social work, and clinical psychology, and she uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means sessions can include practical problem-solving, skills practice, and conversations that help uncover patterns that keep problems repeating. She has also worked with clinicians who sought support for self-care.

In sessions she pays attention to the ways gender, race, class, and sexual orientation shape a person’s experience. She typically blends practical tools with deeper reflection, depending on what the client needs. The emphasis is on useful steps clients can try between meetings.

Clients often come for help with panic attacks, social anxiety, body image, guilt and shame, or a sense of isolation. She also supports people working on forgiveness, self-love, and finding greater purpose. Therapy is framed as a collaborative process where goals are set together.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Christine aims to make each session a manageable next step toward clearer thinking and steadier emotion.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Christine uses a mix of well-known, evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and to change behaviors that get in the way of daily life.

Mindfulness-based methods teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity, lower stress, and help with panic or ongoing worry. These practices often pair well with short behavioral experiments or homework that reinforce what was tried in session.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and what feels doable. Together they pick methods to try and adjust them over time based on what works for the client.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care from different locations, while the therapist and client work together to find the rhythm and methods that best match the client's needs.
