About Christianne

Christianne Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 24 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She also supports those dealing with parenting concerns, family conflict, and coping after loss or major life changes.

Her sessions focus on clear, practical steps. She listens to the person’s story and helps them name what matters most. Conversations often include learning new coping skills, building healthier communication, and practicing ways to manage strong emotions.

Christianne uses a blend of approaches to fit each person's needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She brings in acceptance-based and mindfulness tools to help people live by their values even when things feel hard.

Attachment-based work and emotionally focused methods are part of the mix when relationship patterns or close connections are a concern. The emphasis is on understanding patterns and trying small, doable changes. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person can handle.

Her background includes long-term clinical practice with adults facing mood disorders, trauma responses, and life transitions. She aims to help people build self-compassion and practical habits that make daily life easier. To begin, visitors follow the site’s Start Therapy steps and schedule based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Sessions often include practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce unhelpful patterns and build new skills for mood, sleep, or worry issues.

Attachment-based work and emotionally focused ideas focus on how relationships shape emotions and behavior. These approaches help people spot repeating patterns and try different ways of relating when attachment or closeness feels difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as allowing for appointments during a work break or avoiding travel time. They also let people do practical skill work between sessions and review strategies in the environments where daily challenges occur.
