About Christine
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with eight years of experience, Christine Savas focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, LGBT issues, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, career questions, coping with life changes, and coaching. She earned a Master of Education in Counseling from DePaul University and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Human Relations from the University of Iowa. Christine uses practical, evidence-based techniques and an integrative perspective in her work.
Christine has worked in non-profits with at-risk young adults in Chicago and in private practice. She has supported people with a range of diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, adjustment concerns, and ADHD, but she focuses on how these issues affect daily life, work, and relationships. Sessions are organized around what helps a person function better in their day-to-day roles.
Her approach draws on cognitive-behavioral methods, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic ideas. She combines these methods rather than relying on just one school of thought. She also considers nutrition, activity, and environmental factors when relevant to someone’s mental health.
In practical terms Christine works collaboratively. She helps people set clear goals and tries methods that match those goals. Progress is checked and methods are adjusted as needed.
People who reach out complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Christine’s practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

How therapeutic approaches inform online work
Christine uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on specific problems like anxiety, sleep issues, and depression.She also uses dialectical behavior ideas that teach skills for managing intense emotions and improving how people cope in stressful moments. Mindfulness practices are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce rumination.
Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust what they do based on what helps. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to each person's needs and preferences.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, and phone sessions can use less bandwidth when connections are limited. Licensed professionals often find online appointments fit better into work, family, and daily routines without requiring a commute.
