About

Hi there, I'm Christine! My name is Christine Dougherty and I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over a decade. My focus areas include; working with adolescents, adults, and families. My approach My theoretical approach often depends on the specific needs of the individual. Some common approaches I use include cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and family systems therapy. My focus I work with clients who are diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorders. My communication style I am relaxed and friendly. I can be direct when needed and I also use humor. My journey to therapy I have always wanted to help others. I love working with clients to help them achieve their goals. I have a strong desire to make a difference in the lives of others and contribute to the greater good. My goals for you I encourage clients to start from where they are and break down large goals into smaller more attainable parts. My first session with you In the first session, clients can expect to be supported and welcomed. It is sometimes difficult to take the first step in looking for help so my goal is to be supportive and encouraging as we develop our therapeutic relationship.
