About Cristin
LPC Cristin Opall is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, and self-esteem, and helps people build confidence and cope with challenges that affect daily life.
Cristin works from the view that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to therapy. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and low self-regard. Sessions are practical and aimed at reducing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning.
She also supports people facing relationship strain like blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and broader family problems. Cristin describes work around these topics as helping people clarify needs, set boundaries, and improve interactions with others.
Cristin has personal experience with a BRCA1 positive diagnosis and notes she can be a resource for people navigating similar medical and emotional decisions. She offers to discuss her own choices while making clear that therapy is about the client’s decisions and emotional processing, not advice about medical choices.
Her approach addresses panic disorder and panic attacks, social anxiety and phobia, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and Seasonal Affective Disorder. People can expect calm, direct conversations that focus on skills, coping strategies, and small steps toward change.

Evidence-based approaches and how they fit into remote work
Many of the issues Cristin lists respond well to structured, evidence-based approaches. One common technique focuses on skill building for anxiety and panic - teaching breathing and grounding tools, and practicing exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance and lessen panic. This helps people regain confidence in everyday tasks.Another typical method addresses obsessive or intrusive thoughts through behavioral experiments and response strategies that reduce compulsive behaviors. These steps are practical and aim to interrupt the cycle of obsessions and rituals so daily routines are less disrupted.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Cristin will review symptoms, goals, and preferences with the person and then try methods that suit their situation. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
If you are interested in remote work, confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments fit around work or family obligations. Licensed professionals often adapt evidence-based techniques to remote sessions so skill practice and behavioral work remain possible.
