About Christina
Christina Louise Senn is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who centers therapy on the person's own goals and strengths. She views each client as the expert on their life and focuses on practical steps toward change. Her approach is grounded in collaboration and gentle challenge more than labels.
Christina has five years of experience helping people cope with life changes and emotional hardship. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, compassion fatigue, and concerns related to LGBT identity. Her wider focus includes chronic pain and illness, isolation and loneliness, mood disorders, seasonal affective disorder, and issues around non-monogamous and kink-aware relationships.
In sessions she draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal motivation for change. She also uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to teach concrete skills for managing mood and anxiety. EMDR and DBT are part of her toolkit when those approaches fit a person's needs.
Christina aims to make therapy feel straightforward and usable. She supports people who want realistic tools and steady encouragement as they work through hard moments. The first meeting focuses on understanding what matters most to the client and planning a path forward.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a session according to availability. Christina practices in Florida as an LCSW and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches you can use online
Motivational Interviewing helps people explore their own reasons for change and builds motivation one step at a time. It focuses on listening, asking open questions, and reflecting back what matters to the person. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and priorities, with the therapist offering empathy and nonjudgmental support. It is useful for people who want a steady, listening presence while they sort through choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety and depression.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps. This shared decision-making helps tailor sessions to each person's needs and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use less bandwidth or choose audio-only options when that feels more workable. Discuss format and schedule during the initial matching and scheduling steps so sessions fit day-to-day life. -
