Christine Droney, MSW, LCSW
I provide structured consulting for individuals and families navigating grief, relational strain, estrangement, and complex life decisions. This work is intentional, time-limited, and designed to support clarity, perspective, and thoughtful decision-making.
Consulting is educational and consultative in nature and does not establish a psychotherapy or counseling relationship.
Consulting services are available to clients in the United States and internationally.
What Consulting Is — and Is Not
Consulting focuses on understanding relational patterns, roles, and dynamics rather than diagnosis or treatment. The work is structured, reflective, and goal-oriented.
Consulting is not psychotherapy and is not intended to replace mental health care.

A focused, one-time consultation centered on a specific concern, decision, or relational situation.

- Determining whether additional consulting would be useful

Preparation
Consulting is most effective when participants:
- Are willing to reflect on their role within the system
- Can consider multiple perspectives
- Are prepared for structured, respectful conversation
- Understand the work is time-limited and goal-oriented
Fit & Next Steps
Consulting is not appropriate for every situation. In some cases, psychotherapy, group work, or no immediate intervention may be the better next step.
If you are unsure whether consulting is appropriate, you may submit a brief inquiry outlining your situation.
