About Christine Whittaker
Christine Whittaker helps people uncover meaning and purpose while creating practical connections between thoughts and actions to support lasting change. She uses a collaborative, solution-oriented style to design creative strategies that promote growth in day-to-day life and to guide people through the discomfort that often accompanies unfamiliar emotions.
As an experienced and trained Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) - a license that authorizes practice in marriage, family, and related therapy - she brings a relational frame to clinical work and offers services as a clinical supervisor and life coach. Christine works with individuals, couples, and families to address mental, emotional, and behavioral difficulties as well as relationship distress, treating problems as they affect social settings, schools, dating, marriages, and family systems.
Over almost ten years of combined online and private-practice work, she has supported people facing mental health concerns, intimacy and sexuality issues, relationship addiction and codependency, low self-esteem, histories of abuse, and transitions such as separation or breakup. In addition to clinical practice, she has served in consultant roles including family divorce mediator, child custody evaluator, nationally certified parent instructor, and qualified parent coordinator.
Christine emphasizes empathy, compassion, and a non-judgmental, relational approach that aims to help clients recognize strengths, gain confidence, and experience measurable progress. She favors non-adversarial methods to identify where breakdowns occur in individuals or relationships and to guide efforts to strengthen, restructure, and rebuild. While cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques align with her style, she individualizes treatment to match each person or family's goals, offering clear, direct communication strategies to help clients stay grounded, focused, and validated.
