    About Christina

    Christina Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She brings seven years of professional experience and a calm, straightforward approach to sessions. Christina emphasizes a client's own strengths and choices as central to change.

    She focuses on stress and anxiety, mood disorders including depression and bipolar, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to family relationships. She also helps with panic attacks, social anxiety, feelings of isolation, and struggles with guilt, shame, and impulsivity. Christina aims to make conversations practical and useful for daily life.

    Her work blends clear techniques and supportive listening. She uses methods like Motivational Interviewing to build on what a person already wants to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness-based strategies and trauma-focused tools provide ways to manage intense feelings and reactions.

    Christina meets people where they are and helps them map small, doable steps toward their goals. She values collaboration and respects each person's pace. Parents and caregivers who feel worn down or unsure about next steps can find straightforward guidance and skills to try between sessions.

    Starting therapy with Christina means talking through what matters now and shaping practical plans for the weeks ahead. She encourages curiosity about change and supports people as they try new ways of coping and relating.

  2. How these approaches translate to online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and build their own reasons to move forward. Online sessions can use this approach to set small goals and track progress between meetings.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online setting it can be paired with worksheets and practical exercises to try during the week, helping with anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms.

    Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice strong emotions and step out of reactivity. Short practices and breathing techniques can be used in-session and as daily tools to reduce stress.

    Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

    The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Because the biography doesn’t list session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to attend regular sessions, use brief check-ins, or combine formal sessions with exercises you can do at home or on a break.
