    About Christina

    Christina Willis is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Oklahoma who uses Motivational Interviewing alongside other approaches to help people move forward. She focuses on practical steps and honest conversation to address depression, addiction, anxiety, and stressful life changes. Christina aims to make sessions straightforward and supportive for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

    She has five years of clinical experience working with adults facing relationship strain, grief, and problems with impulse control. Sessions stress clear goals and small, achievable changes so progress feels manageable. Christina pays attention to how attachment and communication patterns affect daily life and relationships.

    Her style blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means the work is collaborative, direct, and geared toward problem-solving. Clients can expect a mix of listening, skill practice, and planning between sessions.

    Christina often helps people dealing with body image, codependency, guilt and shame, and isolation. She also supports those facing drug and alcohol addiction and other control issues. Her approach emphasizes building resilience and practical coping tools that fit real life.

    She offers culturally responsive care and aims to create a respectful space for people from different backgrounds. Conversations focus on what matters most to each person and on steps they can try right away to feel better.

  2. How approaches like Motivational Interviewing fit into online care

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation for steps like reducing substance use or improving self-care. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person sets priorities and the therapist follows their lead.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with practical strategies. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into smaller, actionable steps and practicing new skills between sessions.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean blending Motivational Interviewing with CBT or emphasizing solution-focused planning depending on the situation.

    Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to help people practice new skills, set realistic goals, and track progress in ways that fit everyday life.
