About Christine

Christine Dicus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with six years of direct clinical experience. She earned her degree from the University of Missouri St. Louis and brings a practical, strengths-based approach to helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As an LCSW Christine holds a state license to provide clinical social work and mental health treatment.

Her clinical work blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral strategies and motivational interviewing, so treatment is tailored to each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. She commonly begins with weekly meetings to build a collaborative plan and gradually adjusts frequency as goals are met. Christine emphasizes teamwork - working alongside clients to set realistic steps, develop self-care routines, and create schedules that fit everyday life.

Christine has experience across diverse settings, including residential treatment, prison and jail environments, and traditional office practice, and she has worked with children, families, individuals involved in the criminal justice system, and those coping with adoption or attachment issues. She offers messaging, live chat, and phone sessions with evening and weekend availability, and she checks messages daily with replies typically within 24 hours. Christine adapts scheduling when possible to help clients access care that fits their routines.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Support

Christine uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where clients guide the pace of work and explore personal values, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and many forms of addiction. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen readiness for change, which is particularly helpful for substance use and process addictions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Christine works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to prioritize and when to adapt the plan as progress occurs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and diverse needs. These options make it easier to fit therapy into evenings or weekends and allow ongoing support between sessions, helping clients maintain momentum while balancing other responsibilities.
