About Christina
Christina Colistro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Idaho with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. Christina aims to help people break patterns and move toward a life that fits their values.
She keeps conversations direct, low on judgment, and sometimes light with a bit of humor. Her practice blends evidence-based techniques with body-centered and mindful methods.
Background and approach
Sessions may include practical skills for managing panic and anxiety, ways to shift unhelpful thinking, and attention to how emotions show up in the body. Christina also draws on trauma-aware strategies to help people process painful past events at a pace that feels manageable. Clients work with her to build a personalized plan.
That plan focuses on clear goals like reducing panic attacks, improving mood, or strengthening self-worth. Christina emphasizes simple, actionable steps so progress feels tangible between sessions. She describes the therapeutic space as honest and straightforward.
Christina encourages people to try small changes and see what helps. Her style mixes direct feedback, skill-building, and gentle reflection to support lasting change. Practical matters are kept simple.
Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Materials and homework are explained in everyday language to make practice outside sessions easier.
Approaches That Meet You Online
Christina uses a few grounded approaches that translate well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used to reduce anxiety, panic attacks, and low mood. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. These skills can help with panic, emotional regulation, and relationship-related stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. Together they set small, clear goals and adjust techniques based on what feels most useful and doable between sessions.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when visual focus is not needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in, do brief coaching, or keep momentum between longer appointments. These options make it possible to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving routines, or other busy days.
