About Christina
Christina Janiszeski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Minnesota who helps people cope with anxiety and related concerns. She offers a calm, straightforward way of working that focuses on the person in front of her. Conversations are practical and paced to each person’s needs.
She aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable for people who are worried or unsure. Christina draws on about ten years of clinical experience supporting people with depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and addictions.
Background and approach
She also helps with self-esteem, work stress, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions. Her background includes training in counseling and work with substance use issues. In sessions she uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person, and cognitive behavioral strategies to name patterns and try new behaviors.
She adds mindfulness techniques to help calm the body and motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck. These tools are mixed to match each person’s goals. Christina describes her style as practical and human.
She focuses on small, doable steps such as managing strong emotions, building routines, or improving communication. She also tackles deeper themes like attachment, shame, and family of origin issues when that supports healing. People can expect a collaborative plan that balances short-term coping skills with exploration of harder life questions.
Christina works with people who want both problem-solving and a thoughtful, person-centered approach to move forward.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. The therapist reflects the person’s experience and helps them set goals that feel important and realistic. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together and uses specific exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the early work together. Christina will collaborate with each person to test approaches and adjust as needed. She mixes listening, skill-building, and reflective work based on the client’s goals and preferences so the plan fits real life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions can be simpler when a video call is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, caregiving schedules, and different energy levels.
