Christine O'Connor, LCSW

Christine O'Connor is a licensed clinical social worker with many years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She supports those coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and other life changes.

With 27 years of practice in New Hampshire, Christine brings long-term experience to common and complex concerns. She listens for patterns such as attachment issues, codependency, or chronic health burdens that can keep problems stuck. Then she helps people try manageable changes that fit their daily routines.

People who work with Christine can expect down-to-earth guidance on managing emotions, coping skills for anxiety or anger, and ways to address ADHD-related challenges or compassion fatigue. She also supports those facing identity or intimacy questions, body image concerns, and blended family dynamics.

Approaches that guide online work and progress

Christine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and strength-building. One common approach focuses on teaching coping skills for anxiety and stress - breathing, grounding, and stepwise behavior changes that reduce overwhelm and improve sleep and daily routines. These techniques help with worry, panic, and sleepless nights.

Another approach centers on trauma-informed care, which means moving at a client's pace and addressing the impact of trauma on relationships, emotions, and daily functioning. This work often includes learning safe ways to manage intense feelings and repairing patterns like attachment struggles or codependency.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a client's goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. If something isn't working, adjustments are made together until a useful path emerges.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people choose quieter moments for conversation. It also makes ongoing work possible for those who live farther from New Hampshire or who find regular in-person visits difficult.
