About Christina
Christina Johnson is a licensed professional counselor with 14 years of clinical experience in Pennsylvania.

She helps people notice their strengths and use them to make changes. The first step often feels hard, and she aims to make beginning therapy as straightforward and encouraging as possible.
Background and approach
Her practice includes attention to attachment concerns, communication problems, and caregiver stress. She also addresses issues such as guilt and shame, impulsivity, jealousy, and feelings of emptiness. Christina can support people impacted by intellectual disability, autism and Asperger syndrome, and post-traumatic stress.
In sessions she focuses on practical ways to manage distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Conversations may cover coping strategies, ways to reduce intense emotion, and steps to rebuild trust in relationships. She tries to keep sessions grounded and usable so people can apply changes between meetings.
Christina provides care through a variety of online formats. She encourages open conversation about goals and expectations, and she works with each person to find approaches that fit their life and needs.
How evidence-based work fits into online therapy
Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and problem solving. One common approach focuses on learning coping tools to ease anxiety and reduce stress; this involves identifying triggers, practicing breathing and relaxation techniques, and trying small behavioral experiments to build confidence. Another approach centers on processing trauma and related reactions in manageable steps, helping people name what happened, understand its effects, and develop safer ways to respond to memories and reminders.Choosing the right method is part of the work and is decided together. Christina will listen to concerns, review goals, and suggest approaches that match a person's needs and preferences. She adapts methods over time when something isn’t helping and checks in regularly to make sure the plan still fits.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people see facial expressions and use visual tools. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide a way to connect between calls, share thoughts in writing, or fit brief sessions into a busy day. These formats aim to make it easier to get consistent care without major scheduling changes.
