Christine Rexroat

Christine Rexroat is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois. She combines a long nursing background in women’s health with seven years of counseling experience to support people through major life changes. She focuses on concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and issues tied to pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, divorce, and menopause.

Christine centers sessions on listening and collaboration. She helps clients name what matters, clarify goals, and take small steps forward. Her work often addresses relationship patterns, intimacy questions, self-esteem, and the strain of caring for others.

Her clinical approach draws on Client-Centered techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Jungian ideas, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to build insight, change unhelpful patterns, and develop coping strategies for day-to-day life.

Before becoming a counselor, Christine spent 30 years as a nurse with a primary focus in women’s health. That experience informs how she supports people during pregnancy, postpartum, infertility journeys, and other women’s health transitions. She describes her way of working as warm, direct, and respectful of each person’s pace.

Christine believes therapy is a partnership. She aims to create a welcoming space where people feel heard and can safely work through feelings of isolation, shame, or grief. Starting therapy can feel hard, and she offers steady support while clients move through change.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a relationship that reflects each person’s pace and priorities. In practice this means the therapist asks about what matters most and tailors sessions to the client’s goals and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers simple tools and small experiments to test unhelpful thoughts, reduce anxiety, and improve daily routines.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift interaction patterns that fuel distress. It is useful when relationship dynamics, attachment, or intimacy concerns are central to what someone wants to change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine will work with clients to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as therapy progresses.

Confirm available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by removing commute time or allowing shorter check-ins during a workday. It can also let clients use mindfulness practice or CBT homework between sessions to reinforce progress.
