Christian Geirsson, LPC

Christian Geirsson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with nine years of clinical experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. He also supports those dealing with grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and concerns related to LGBT identity and family matters.

Christian aims for respectful and compassionate conversations. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. He adapts discussion and techniques to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

In sessions he draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems going. He also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Christian has worked across a range of clinical concerns over nearly a decade. That experience includes supporting people with panic attacks, personality and attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and relationship disruptions such as divorce and domestic violence. He also addresses issues like abandonment, guilt, and isolation.

People who choose him can expect a collaborative approach. Together they set priorities, try practical strategies, and track progress. The goal is clearer coping skills and more workable day-to-day routines.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care

Christian often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that make problems worse and practicing new responses to change daily functioning. He also integrates client-centered work that gives priority to the person's experience and supports self-directed progress.

The choice of approach is a team decision. Christian reviews goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods over time to find the best fit. That means trying practical strategies in early sessions and shifting focus if something isn’t helping.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and use of worksheets or screen sharing. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make short check-ins and skills practice possible between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
