About Christina
Christina Rydeen is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She brings 14 years of clinical experience and a calm, steady presence to sessions. Christina aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive for people who are unsure where to begin.
She creates a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding emotions, identifying patterns that cause pain, and building practical ways to respond differently. Christina uses clear, direct language so people leave each meeting with something useful to try. Her approach draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to attend to core feelings and attachment patterns.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take values-based actions. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and responds in session. Christina holds LPC and LCPC credentials and practices in Missouri.
She works with people across a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, ADHD, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication problems. Her goal is practical relief and clearer next steps rather than quick fixes. People who prefer remote care can meet by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Christina supports a collaborative process where clients set the pace and focus. She encourages those ready to try therapy to begin with a simple conversation about goals and priorities.

Online support
Emotion-focused care available online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with core emotions and attachment needs. It is useful when strong feelings are driving repeated patterns in relationships or personal distress and the focus is on creating new emotional responses.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings, then choose actions that match their values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and coping through life changes by clarifying what matters and taking small committed steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a workday. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework discussion, or when typing feels more comfortable. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and life demands.
