    About Cristina

    Cristina Juisti is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience in community mental health. She practices in Pennsylvania and focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by everyday demands and major life changes. Cristina aims to help clients find hope and calmer days ahead.

    She works with adults and older adults, especially those coping with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and challenges related to relationships and life transitions. Her practice includes attention to caregiver stress, aging concerns, body image, and women's issues.

    Cristina uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a nonjudgmental space where people can explore feelings and strengths at their own pace. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and to build practical strategies for change. Motivational Interviewing appears in her approach to help people find their own reasons for change and to build momentum toward goals.

    Sessions emphasize clear choices and practical steps. Cristina aims to help people recognize options they may not have seen before and to try new ways of handling problems. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's comfort.

  2. How her approaches shape online care

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical skills to change behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood difficulties by teaching step-by-step strategies to manage symptoms.

    Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and explores feelings at their own pace. This approach supports people who need validation and time to consider their options.

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and to build motivation. It can be useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking steps forward.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may mix techniques so the plan fits the individual.

    The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit therapy into a busy day. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require video if that is preferable.
