About Christian
Christian Geirsson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with nine years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the strain that comes with life changes. He also works with concerns related to LGBT matters, family issues, grief, anger, and self-esteem.
Christian uses clear conversations rather than jargon. He adapts sessions to the person in front of him and focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. Sessions center on straightforward goals such as reducing panic symptoms, improving mood, or finding ways to cope with a difficult life transition.
He draws on client-centered ideas to keep the person’s perspective central. He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Other methods he includes are dialectical behavior therapy skills, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to build concrete skills and short-term plans.
Christian has worked with a wide range of concerns from ADHD and bipolar mood issues to attachment problems and fatherhood challenges. He lists experience with multicultural concerns, personality disorder presentations, and situations involving domestic violence and divorce or separation. This range means he often balances longer-term work with focused problem-solving.
Sessions are conducted in English. If you want to move forward, follow the site’s process to see online therapy options, complete the short matching questionnaire, and book an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How his approaches shape online sessions
Christian combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to keep sessions practical and focused. Client-centered Therapy means the conversation centers on the person’s priorities and perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.He also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach specific coping skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when people need concrete steps to manage intense reactions. Together these approaches let him shift between listening, skill teaching, and short-term planning as needed.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. That decision is based on the concerns the person brings, what has helped before, and what they want to change.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit regular therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Practically, that can mean scheduling sessions around family responsibilities, using audio-only if bandwidth is limited, or planning brief follow-ups to track progress.
