About Christina
Christina Burden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are navigating stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Christina aims to make therapy a straightforward, supportive place to talk and to learn practical skills that help day-to-day life.
Her approach is warm and direct. Sessions usually center on understanding what feels hard now and finding realistic steps to change it.
Background and approach
She listens closely to each person’s story and works with them to build new habits for coping and communication. Christina has worked with a broad range of concerns, including social anxiety, workplace stress, and mood management. She helps people facing relationship struggles, abandonment issues, body image concerns, and the stress of caregiving or serious illness.
Her practice also includes people affected by adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and nontraditional sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. In sessions she focuses on practical tools for regulation, clearer communication, and steadier routines. Christina emphasizes self-acceptance while helping clients set achievable goals and track progress.
Therapy is collaborative, with attention to what feels useful for each person. She offers conversations about coping with disasters, chronic pain, cancer, codependency, commitment and control issues, and blended family challenges. Christina uses her years of practice to help people make manageable changes and find more calm in daily life.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Christina often works with evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and reshaping life stories. One common approach involves identifying and testing thoughts that increase anxiety or low mood, then practicing new responses in everyday situations to reduce distress and improve mood. Another approach centers on narrative work - looking at the stories people tell about themselves and rewriting those narratives to support healthier choices and stronger self-acceptance.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust them as needed so the work fits the client’s life and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people managing busy schedules or health concerns. Video calls let conversations feel closer to in-person sessions, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving routines, or days with limited travel.
