Christina Bachenberg

Christina Bachenberg is a licensed clinical professional counselor with over 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also addresses isolation and loneliness alongside issues like body image, compulsive behaviors, and panic attacks.

Christina approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She tailors conversations and plans to fit individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Her aim is to help clients find practical steps that feel manageable in day-to-day life.

Sessions combine present-focused work with moments that look back at patterns that keep causing pain. She uses collaborative techniques to help people name what matters and try new ways of coping. This often includes simple tools to reduce anxious moments and build steadier routines.

People come to her when they want clearer communication, better self-regard, or relief from overwhelming thoughts and urges. Christina pays attention to what each person wants to change and adjusts work accordingly. She supports clients through transitions and helps them explore goals and values.

Her practice is based in Maryland and sessions are conducted in English. Christina encourages straightforward conversations about what is and is not working, and she helps clients take small, practical steps toward more satisfying daily life.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to you. It helps when someone needs an accepting space to talk through feelings and confusion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches simple skills to reduce anxiety, panic, and compulsive habits. It works well for people who want concrete tools to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name strong emotions and learn new ways to respond, which can improve relationships and self-connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. This may mean trying one approach first and adjusting over time based on what the client finds helpful.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue therapy during life changes or while managing daily responsibilities.
