Christine Manturuk, LPC

Christine Manturuk is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who helps adults manage stress, grief, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She focuses on people who feel disconnected, are processing trauma, or are navigating big transitions. Her tone in sessions is warm and down-to-earth, aiming to create a space where clients can speak plainly about what matters to them.

She uses an eclectic, strength-based approach that pulls from several therapeutic traditions. Christine leans on client-centered work to follow what each person brings to the room. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns from the past that affect today's choices.

Mindfulness techniques are part of her toolkit to help clients notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting overwhelmed. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants to make a change but feels stuck or unsure where to begin. These methods are mixed to fit a person's goals and pace.

Christine trained at Drexel College of Nursing and Health Professions, earning a masters in art therapy and counseling in 2015. She has about ten years of clinical experience and completed a three-year Gestalt training program in 2021. She continues to add learning to her practice.

She sees work with concerns such as caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, dissociation, relationship and family problems, workplace issues, and issues common in mood disorders. People interested in starting are invited to ask about how her approaches might match their needs.

How Christine’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centered work focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. Online sessions can preserve that focus by allowing clients to describe their concerns and set goals while the therapist reflects and asks clarifying questions.

Mindfulness therapy teaches noticing thoughts, breath, and body sensations in the present moment. Online sessions can include short guided mindfulness exercises and check-ins that help with anxiety, stress, and chronic pain management.

Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that may have formed over time and influence current feelings and behavior. In virtual conversations, this can mean gently tracking themes that reappear and connecting them to present-day struggles like relationship or mood issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean trying one thing for a few sessions and adjusting as progress and comfort suggest.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Ask which online options are currently offered and how scheduling works. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into workdays, reducing travel time, and keeping appointments regular while balancing caregiving, health challenges, or busy schedules.
