01About Cristin
Cristin Opall is a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, and helping people build self-esteem and confidence. Cristin approaches each person as the expert on their own story and aims to support courage and change.
She works in a straightforward, respectful manner. Sessions center on clear goals and practical steps. Cristin listens for strengths clients already have and helps them use those strengths to meet challenges.
Background and approach
Conversations are grounded and aimed at usable skills rather than only ideas. Cristin also offers support around family transitions and relationship strain. Issues she has helped people with include blended family concerns, communication problems, divorce and separation, and broader family problems.
She brings attention to how everyday interactions affect stress and self-worth. Clinical worries she has experience with include panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, social anxiety and phobia, and seasonal affective disorder. She helps people notice patterns and try small changes that reduce distress over time.
Work often includes building routines, testing new behaviors, and tracking progress. In 2023 Cristin learned she is BRCA 1 positive and went through consultations and decision-making about preventive care. That personal experience informs how she supports others facing similar genetic news, including the emotional fallout such as grief or identity shifts.
She offers a listening, nonjudgmental space to talk through those emotions and choices.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Evidence-based techniques used in practice focus on learning new behaviors and managing uncomfortable thoughts. Behavioral strategies involve trying small, planned changes in daily routines to reduce stress and improve mood, which can help with panic, seasonal mood shifts, and low motivation. Cognitive strategies focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing whether they match reality, a useful way to reduce anxiety and build self-esteem.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Sessions include checking progress and adapting methods when something does not feel useful, so clients help shape the plan as they go.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this kind of work. Video calls let the therapist observe nonverbal cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, and tracking small steps between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit counseling into a busy schedule and keep work consistent over time.
