About Christina
Christina Harrison is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and build everyday coping skills.
Christina draws on work in addiction treatment and social work to guide her decisions. She listens closely and helps people name what they are feeling. Sessions are calm and straightforward, with space to talk about trauma, depression, self-esteem, relationships, and life changes.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of approaches based on what each person needs. That can mean using cognitive tools to change unhelpful thoughts, exploring attachment patterns that shape relationships, or using mindfulness to calm the body and mind. EMDR may be part of her work when trauma memories need targeted processing.
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. Christina helps people set small, manageable goals and checks progress each week. She also supports conversations about addictions, grief, parenting stress, body image, and caregiving strain.
Located in California, Christina brings practical experience from clinical settings and addiction programs. She encourages clients to take the first step and offers steady guidance as they work toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day functioning.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds. Online sessions can help people spot recurring patterns, improve communication, and rebuild trust in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It works well online because homework, thought records, and behavior experiments can be shared and reviewed between sessions. EMDR addresses trauma-related memories by guiding clients through focused processing; adapted online, it can help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories when the clinician and client agree it is appropriate.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. That collaborative conversation shapes whether more cognitive tools, attachment work, mindfulness skills, or trauma processing feels best at different points in care.
Online delivery offers practical benefits. Video calls approximate face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit brief conversations into a busy day. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
