About Christina

Christina (Crissy) Irrgang-Wade is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota. She brings 11 years of clinical work to sessions and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, and relationship concerns. Crissy aims to listen without judgment and to help people identify the next practical steps that feel right for them.

She often uses Existential ideas alongside client-centered methods to help people reflect on meaning, values, and difficult life choices.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices appear in her work when people need tools to manage thoughts, emotions, and sleep. Sessions emphasize clear, doable strategies alongside space to process feelings. Crissy has experience addressing trauma and intergenerational effects of abuse.

She also has worked with issues related to adoption and foster care, first responder stress, and recovery from substance problems. Her background includes many years working with Native American communities and familiarity with Ojibwe cultural perspectives. Her approach balances practical techniques and deeper reflection.

People who come for help might work on coping skills for panic or anger, build motivation and self-esteem, or work through grief and relationship challenges. Crissy frames clients as the experts in their own lives and supports them in making changes that matter. Sessions are conducted in English and offered through a range of remote formats.

Costs vary by location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time.

Online support

Approaches for online work and finding what fits

Existential Therapy invites people to reflect on what gives their life meaning and how values guide decisions. It can help when someone feels stuck by life changes, questions about purpose, or a sense of isolation. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting the person's own strengths. It helps people feel heard and build confidence to try new steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That conversation guides whether sessions emphasize reflection about values, practical skills training, or both in combination.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or people who prefer writing between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
