About Christina
Christina Brown is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington who focuses on practical ways to manage stress and anxiety. She uses straightforward talk and real-world tools to help people build confidence, handle career struggles, and work through low mood. Her style is respectful and warm, and she aims to make the first steps feel less overwhelming.
Christina blends approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift patterns that keep stress and worry active.
Background and approach
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. Mindfulness practices are offered to strengthen calm, attention, and emotional awareness during moments of stress. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy help with emotion regulation and coping skills when feelings feel intense or hard to manage.
She structures sessions around what each person brings in that week and adjusts pacing to fit current life demands. Conversations focus on practical skills, experiments to try between sessions, and honest feedback about what’s helping and what’s not.
Christina has four years of clinical experience working with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and family of origin problems. She tailors plans for people coping with natural or human-caused disasters and those navigating big life changes.
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps that move a person toward what matters, which can be useful for anxiety and stress related to life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, often helping with worry, low mood, and confidence struggles.
Christina will collaborate with each person to find the best mix of approaches. She discusses goals and preferences, then adapts methods as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video calls are good for in-depth conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can help with shorter check-ins, and text messaging allows brief support or reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit work, caregiving, and busy days into a therapeutic plan.
