About Christine
Christine Paulsen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with four years of professional experience. She focuses on common stressors such as anxiety, depression, and life changes, and offers support for relationship and intimacy concerns. Christine aims to meet people where they are and treat them with sensitivity and respect.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs instead of following one fixed method. Christine emphasizes clear, direct conversation and practical steps that can be used between appointments.
Her work includes support around addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She also addresses issues tied to identity and gender, including LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns. For people coping with career stress, parenting strain, or family conflict she helps identify small changes that add up over time.
Christine also supports people dealing with complex mood and attention conditions such as bipolar disorder and ADHD, along with related challenges like emptiness, guilt, or isolation. She is comfortable discussing sensitive topics including alternative sexual culture and body image in a nonjudgmental way.
To begin, Christine asks about what matters most to the person and what goals feel realistic. From there she and the client design a plan that fits the client's life and pace. Her approach is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping people build coping skills and clearer paths forward.
