About Chrystine
Chrystine Longley is a licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, anger, and depression. She brings six years of clinical experience and aims to create a calm, open space where clients can talk about hard things without judgment. She works with adults across a range of life challenges and health concerns.
In sessions she focuses on what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and goal-directed when helpful, and gentle and exploratory when people need that. She listens for patterns in thoughts and behavior, and then offers tools clients can try between meetings to reduce distress and build confidence. Her background includes work with people affected by chronic illness, caregivers, and those connected to the military and first responder communities.
She also supports people navigating aging, cancer, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and life transitions like divorce and separation. That experience informs how she balances emotion-focused work with problem-solving steps. Chrystine uses approaches drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused work, solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused therapy.
Those approaches shape how she responds in the room and what she teaches clients to practice outside sessions. She is licensed in Massachusetts and Connecticut as an LICSW and an LCSW. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people find practical ways forward and greater self-compassion.

Online support
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs space to sort emotions and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and manage depression. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of past traumatic events with techniques that help reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and what feels most comfortable. Together they choose or combine methods, and adjust the plan as needed based on what helps most in real life. Online sessions offer flexibility that can make consistent work more realistic. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face for deeper conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support short updates, homework review, or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and keep progress moving forward.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
