Christanne Brunner, LPC

Christanne Brunner, LPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or life changes. She offers a straightforward, practical style that focuses on clear goals and steady progress. Conversations are calm and direct, aimed at building tools people can use between sessions.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, and to teach skills for managing moods and worry. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and track small wins. Gottman Method ideas are used when communication patterns are getting in the way of connection.

With 12 years of combined experience in counseling and related work, she brings steady experience to common concerns like depression, grief, parenting strain, and workplace stress. She also addresses topics important to LGBTQ people, gender dysphoria, women's issues, intimacy, anger, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are practical and aimed at helping people make daily life feel more manageable.

Christanne emphasizes collaboration. She works with each person to pick approaches that match their goals and comfort level, then adjusts as progress is made. Early sessions focus on identifying clear, achievable steps and building skills that produce noticeable change.

People who value direct feedback and practical tools often find this approach helpful. She supports individuals through communication problems, self-esteem challenges, and major life transitions while helping them build coping strategies for everyday demands.

Approaches and online options that fit your life

Christanne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change the thought patterns that feed anxiety and low mood; sessions focus on practical exercises and strategies to try between meetings. She also incorporates ideas from the Gottman Method to improve how partners talk and handle conflict, aiming to create clearer communication and reduce repeated arguments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals and preferences during early meetings and recommends CBT, Gottman techniques, or solution-focused steps as fits each person. This collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when it helps, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging supports ongoing coaching or brief updates between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while keeping continuity of care.
