Christine Goodstein is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience. She practices in Delaware and draws on years of work in healthcare, schools, group homes, and correctional settings. Christine focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and self esteem concerns.
She takes a straightforward, strengths-based approach. Christine treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for practical steps people can use right away. Sessions aim to build confidence, improve communication, and reduce overwhelming feelings through manageable goals.
Her background includes work across diverse settings, which shaped how she supports people with different needs and life stages. That experience informs how she helps with issues such as attachment patterns, impulsivity, chronic health-related stress, and parenting strain. She also addresses concerns like mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and self-harm risk with attention to safety and practical coping.
Christine emphasizes collaboration. She helps people set clear goals and tries methods that fit day-to-day life. Progress is tracked in small steps so people can notice change.
To begin, she asks people to reflect on strengths and what they want to change. Christine then works with them to build a plan that feels doable and focused on building self-love, better relationships, and steadier mood.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and emotional processing. One common approach she uses emphasizes identifying patterns that fuel anxiety and low self-esteem, then replacing those patterns with clearer, calmer responses. This helps with worries, negative self-talk, and everyday stressors.
Another approach centers on processing trauma and past hurts in a paced, supportive way. That method helps people make sense of painful memories and develop coping tools to manage triggers and intense feelings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine works with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts strategies over time and checks in often to see what is working and what needs to change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking. The main practical benefit is fitting therapy into a busy life - sessions can often be scheduled around work, school, medical appointments, or caregiving duties. Online work can also make it easier to attend consistent sessions when travel or mobility is difficult. Talk with Christine during the matching process about what format will best support your goals and daily routine.
