Christine Manturuk , LPC

Christine Manturuk is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and board certified art therapist (ATR-BC) with more than ten years of clinical experience. She brings a calm, down-to-earth presence to her work and focuses on helping adults navigate transitions, process trauma, and reconnect with a sense of meaning and self-compassion. Her practice emphasizes clarity, compassion, and stronger connection to values and relationships.

Her approach is eclectic and strength based, rooted in person-centered care and informed by art therapy, gestalt methods, psychodynamic ideas, and trauma-aware practices. She tailors interventions to each person, drawing from expressive and talk-based techniques that support well-being and encourage self-expression. Her training includes a Master of Arts in Art Therapy and Counseling from Drexel College of Nursing and Health Professions completed in 2015 and a three-year Gestalt training program finished in 2021.

As an LPC she holds professional licensure to provide counseling, and as an ATR-BC she has board certification in the therapeutic use of art. Christine aims to create a supportive space where adults can explore stress, grief, relationship challenges, mood concerns, identity issues, and life changes with patience and practical guidance.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Christine integrates client-centered therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping people identify their own goals and strengths, which is useful for stress, relationship concerns, and navigating life transitions. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns from past relationships and internal conflicts to increase self-understanding and reduce recurring emotional struggles. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques to manage anxiety, mood fluctuations, and overwhelming stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work; Christine collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy with Christine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and maintain consistent support even when in-person care is not possible. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver meaningful, goal-oriented care tailored to each individual.
