Christine Manturuk, LPC

Christine Manturuk is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who helps people facing midlife questions, major life changes, and emotional overwhelm. She focuses on making conversations clear and practical so clients can find direction and feel more grounded. Christine writes and listens in a calm, down-to-earth way that aims to reduce shame and isolation.

She has about ten years of counseling experience and earned a master's degree in art therapy and counseling from Drexel College of Nursing and Health Professions in 2015. Christine also completed a three-year Gestalt training program in 2021. She combines what she’s learned into a flexible, person-centered approach rather than relying on a single method.

Sessions often focus on practical next steps and building skills to cope with stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. Christine draws on client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to help people better understand patterns that get in the way. She also uses mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm.

People who are coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, or workplace stress may find her approach helpful for managing day-to-day challenges. Christine includes attention to life purpose, self-worth, and recovery from trauma when those issues arise. Services are provided in English and are offered from her practice in Pennsylvania.

Her style aims to be collaborative and strengths-based, helping each person decide which tools to try. Prospective clients who want someone who blends practical skills with thoughtful reflection may find her a good fit.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Christine often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the person's priorities to build trust and practical change. This approach helps when someone feels stuck, low in confidence, or unsure about next steps.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple exercises for managing stress and anxiety. These practices are brief and can be used between sessions to reduce reactivity and increase calm during busy days.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on how useful they feel. This is a collaborative process that respects each person's pace and preferences.

Confirm the current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday or work break, reduce travel time, and let people use exercises at home between meetings. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and session length so the format matches daily life and goals.
