About Christine
Christine Paulsen is a licensed clinical social worker with four years of experience working in California. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and self esteem, and often helps people navigating relationship and intimacy concerns. She strives to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations to each person's needs.
Her work tends to be straightforward and practical. Christine listens to what feels most pressing and helps set small, doable steps toward change. She supports people wrestling with life transitions, grief, addiction concerns, mood issues, and challenges tied to gender and sexual identity.
Christine also addresses family of origin issues, communication problems, and difficulties with commitment or jealousy. She has experience talking about body image, abandonment, and alternative sex culture topics like BDSM and kink when these come up in sessions. She can help people coping with isolation, work stress, or the effects of trauma and abuse.
Conversations aim to build coping skills and clearer decision-making. Christine works with needs related to ADHD, bipolar, and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns by focusing on practical strategies that fit daily life. She adapts plans as progress is made and as priorities change.
If someone is ready to try therapy, Christine asks about current goals and personal preferences first. From there she shapes a plan that feels manageable and relevant to what each person wants to change.
