Christine Lawrence

Christine Lawrence specializes in working with adults, couples, and families overwhelmed with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges at Lifeologie Counseling Plano & Richardson. She supports partners who are considering premarital counseling or couples therapy to overcome relationship difficulties, families feeling stuck, and young adults who are navigating burnout and major life transitions. She believes that everyone has a story—and that story deserves to be met with compassionate curiosity.

She has training in relational and trauma-informed care, including being a certified Prepare/Enrich Facilitator, skilled in helping couples identify their relationship strengths and develop skills to build, renew, or restore their relationships. She is also uniquely trained in helping clients with PTSD heal through Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). She views counseling as a space where individuals can begin or continue their journey, and she emphasizes to her clients that they are not alone.

Christine uses a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to each client’s needs. Her primary modalities include family systems theory and psychodynamic theory, which help clients understand how their histories, family dynamics, and stories contribute to their feelings, core beliefs, and behaviors in the present. From there, she helps clients gain insight into the patterns keeping them stuck and supports them as they heal and change.

Christine's passion for helping others began in the field of nursing and evolved into a deep sense of purpose in providing therapy. As a therapist, Christine takes a collaborative and empathetic approach, meeting clients wherever they are in their counseling journey. She is committed to understanding and helping individuals make meaning of their unique story, while offering a safe and supportive environment that lets clients feel seen and known.

Christine earned her Bachelor's in Nursing from Milligan College and her Master's in Biblical Counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary. She integrates working in different levels of mental health care to provide thoughtful, personalized, and down-to-earth care. Her goal is to empower clients as they work toward becoming their healthiest, most authentic selves.

Outside of work, Christine enjoys spending time with her husband, newborn, and toddler, connecting with friends, and being outdoors.
