About Christine
Christine Nusser is a licensed clinical social worker based in Tennessee. She has three decades of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, bipolar symptoms, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her work also addresses eating concerns, anger, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem challenges.
Christine takes a straightforward, person-centered approach. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on practical steps they can try between meetings. She uses a mix of methods and tailors them to each person's goals rather than following a single script.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Tennessee School of Social Work and an MBA in finance from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Those degrees are combined with long-term clinical practice to shape a pragmatic, goal-oriented style.
Over 30 years she has worked with people facing chronic mental health concerns, mood disorders, substance-related issues, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and situational crises. She aims to reduce symptoms, help clients maintain stability, and support personal growth.
In sessions she helps people talk through emotional patterns, improve communication, and build skills for everyday life. Therapy plans are designed to fit individual preferences, and Christine will use specific techniques when requested. Prospective clients should review session options and scheduling details before they book.
How Christine’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that align with their values. This can help with anxiety, stress, and the life decisions that often follow financial strain.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations for closeness and trust. It can be useful for improving communication, managing intimacy-related issues, and understanding patterns that affect relationships when money is a stressor.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Christine works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress unfolds. Clients participate in setting goals and choosing practical steps to try between sessions.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
