She practices in Mississippi and focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. Christina aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and understands how hard the first step can be.

Her approach blends techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness. That mix is used to teach skills for coping with strong emotions, managing stress, and reducing unhelpful thinking. Christina often focuses on skills practice and simple strategies that can be used between meetings.

She also brings experience with issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness and pain, codependency, substance use, and challenges around relationships and separation. Christina works with people on motivation and building confidence as part of recovery and growth.

Christina encourages open conversation about goals and what the client hopes to change. She supports each person’s pace and helps set realistic steps toward feeling better and functioning more easily day to day.

How Christina Uses CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness Online

Christina often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT breaks worries into smaller parts so practical steps can reduce stress and anxiety.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. DBT-style tools can be helpful for managing intense feelings and reducing impulsive responses.

Mindfulness therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and to reduce reactivity to strong emotions and pain. Simple breathing and grounding practices are taught and practiced in sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Christina will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together she and the client decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefits often include easier scheduling, fitting sessions around work or caregiving, and using short skill check-ins between other activities. Discuss format and timing when you schedule so sessions can fit into daily life.
