Great therapist

Reviewed November 2022

I have been in and out of therapy since I was 14 years old, always jumping from therapist to therapist as none of them made me feel like an actual person instead of a client. Christina Andino is the first therapist that has made me feel comfortable being myself and talking about my issues, and her feedback is always catered to me and my unique life. I appreciate what you do Christiana thank you so much.

Hey, I'm Christina Andino, therapist, and the proud owner of Mountains Therapy LLC. I'm on a mission to elevate mental health by guiding individuals and couples toward positive transformation. Grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I assist clients in understanding and reshaping thought patterns impacting their well-being.

In individual sessions, I use Solution-Focused Therapy, encouraging clients to identify and work towards achievable goals. For couples, I integrate the renowned Gottman Method, emphasizing practical tools for communication, conflict management, and intimacy.

Creating a safe, non-judgmental space is essential in my practice, allowing clients to explore concerns and strengths. I tailor each therapy session to meet unique needs, addressing personal struggles, anxiety, or relationship challenges. Dedicated to providing support and evidence-based strategies, I'm here to help you on a journey of self-discovery or to strengthen your relationship. Let's navigate the path towards positive change and a more fulfilling life together.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
