Christine Oriani

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been providing therapy since 2011, with the past eight years focused primarily on working with adults in private practice. I support clients navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, parenting stress, grief, and identity shifts. My work is grounded in attachment-informed care, with specialized training in Interpersonal Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy. I strive to create a space where clients feel deeply understood while building insight, self-trust, and meaningful change.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and attachment-centered. I help clients explore the patterns beneath anxiety, disconnection, relational conflict, and self-doubt with curiosity and compassion. Drawing from Interpersonal Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, we work to deepen insight, strengthen emotional regulation, and create more connected relationships. Therapy with me offers both emotional safety and thoughtful challenge to support lasting growth.

Our first session is a supportive space to begin understanding what brings you to therapy and what feels most important in your life right now. We will explore your current concerns, relevant relationships, and the patterns or stressors contributing to what feels difficult. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, heard, and understood while clarifying what you hope to gain from therapy. Many clients leave feeling relieved to have a place to begin making sense of what they are carrying.
