About Christine

Christine Badour is a Licensed Master Social Worker with eight years of clinical experience in Michigan. She offers a warm, person-centered presence and aims to create a supportive working relationship where clients feel heard and respected. She has helped people facing depression, anxiety, panic, bipolar concerns, and ADHD.

Christine also has experience addressing addiction and substance use as well as trauma and PTSD. She commonly assists with relationship struggles, communication problems, grief, and career stress.

Background and approach

Her style is engaging and compassionate. Christine emphasizes that each person knows themselves best, and she works alongside clients to build a tailored plan. She draws from several practical methods so sessions focus on what will help most in daily life.

Christine uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early connections affect current relationships and feelings. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress, and she incorporates client-centered and mindfulness strategies to increase self-awareness and coping skills. In sessions clients can expect clear, down-to-earth conversation, collaborative goal-setting, and hands-on tools to try between meetings.

Christine frames therapy as a partnership aimed at manageable steps toward change and better functioning.

Online support

Attachment-informed approaches and online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand why they feel distant, clingy, or stuck in repeated relationship cycles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, acceptance, and working at the client’s pace to build insight and self-trust.

Finding the best mix of approaches is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She uses feedback and check-ins so the plan adapts over time rather than being fixed from the start.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people read facial cues and use more interactive exercises. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, between-session coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and busy schedules.
