About Christina
Christina Bachenberg is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) practicing in Maryland with 12 years of counseling experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, family concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She also helps with issues such as body image, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and obsessive or impulsive behaviors.
Christina uses straightforward conversation and practical tools in sessions. She listens for patterns in how feelings and behaviors show up, and then helps people notice small changes that can make daily life easier. Discussions often focus on identifying what matters to the person and on next steps they can try between sessions.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions and relationship patterns affect well-being. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's concerns, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to work on unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are sometimes used to build motivation and set achievable goals.
Christina aims to be direct and respectful during sessions. She encourages clear communication about goals and checks in about what is or is not working. Practical strategies, short exercises, and focused conversation are common parts of her work.
People who reach out can expect a steady, goal-aware approach that balances talking through feelings with small behavioral steps. Before scheduling, clients should confirm current session options and logistics with the therapist.
How Christina uses EFT, CBT, and client-centered work online
Christina often combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques. EFT helps name and track strong emotions and relational patterns so people can see how feelings shape their choices. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on what matters most to the person and follows their lead in setting priorities. CBT provides concrete strategies to test and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as worry cycles or avoidance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and daily life. She reviews what methods are helping and adapts the plan as progress unfolds, so the client and therapist decide together which tools to use.
