About Chrystine
Chrystine Longley is a licensed clinician who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She meets each person where they are and aims to create a calm, open space to talk about what matters most. Chrystine holds an MA and practices as an LICSW and LCSW in Massachusetts.
Her work often centers on practical steps you can try between sessions.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of approaches to help people notice emotions, test new behaviors, and solve immediate problems. Conversations may include learning skills for panic or anxiety, processing grief, or working through painful memories at a manageable pace. Chrystine has six years of professional therapeutic experience.
That background includes supporting people who face chronic illness, caregiving stress, and concerns common among veterans and first responders. She also helps people facing life transitions such as divorce, end-of-life planning, or changes related to aging. Sessions are conversational and grounded in the client's goals.
The therapist listens for what feels most important and adapts the approach to each person's needs. People who value direct, empathic talk alongside concrete tools often find this style helpful. If someone is ready to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.
Chrystine aims to be a steady collaborator through change and healing.

Online support
Emotion and practical change through online sessions
Chrystine uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work with strong emotions that drive behavior. EFT focuses on understanding emotional patterns and creating new ways to respond to painful feelings, which can help with relationship wounds, grief, and trauma reactions.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and collaboration so the person sets the pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test different behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic or persistent worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chrystine talks with each person about their goals and preferences and chooses methods that feel like a good fit. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexible access. Video visits are useful for a full face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging can suit quick check-ins, short coaching, or people who prefer typed conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care when in-person visits are not possible.
