More about Christina
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with over 12 years of experience in the mental health field. I am a certified trauma professional and also trained in Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT). I have worked with clients in both inpatient psychiatric settings; as well as outpatient settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including; depression, anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, PTSD, and trauma. I have worked with clients experiencing acute stress as well as clients with chronic and persistent mental illness.
My therapy style is very warm, interactive, and non-judgmental. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. I work with an eclectic approach, meeting the needs of each individual. Therapy is not a "one size fits all" treatment so your treatment plan will be tailored to meet your specific needs.
I understand the courage it takes to make the steps towards change and look forward to being a part of your journey!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Overall rating:
Christina is so great. She has been a listening hear and support to me during a tough time in my life.
Christina is an extremely knowledgeable, competent and well-rounded therapist. I'm absolutely so happy with the work we've accomplished together in the last 4.5 months. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a leader in therapy.
I have not been in therapy for long, nor have I been to any other therapist so I have no basis to compare Christina on. This being said I find Christina to be rather insightful and ask questions in such a way that makes you think for a bit before answering. I find this helpful because it can get us to the root cause faster.
Christina is a great therapist; insightful, compassionate, and down to earth. I look forward to our sessions even when I know they might be rough. Highly recommend!
