About Christina
Christina Briggs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of professional experience based in Mississippi. She supports adults managing stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem struggles. Christina also works with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, blended family concerns, and substance use problems.
She focuses on straightforward conversations about how early family roles and expectations still show up today. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Christina uses clear techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping.
Her work often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, and mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness. These methods are used in ways that fit a person's daily life and concerns. She explains tools in plain terms and models steps people can practice between sessions.
Christina aims to help people who are feeling stuck by identifying small, manageable changes. She talks through relationship and family-of-origin patterns without placing blame. The focus is on increasing understanding and developing better ways to respond to stress and triggers.
People who choose her often want clear strategies for handling anxiety, recovery from addictive behaviors, or support working through the impact of early family dynamics. Before scheduling, clients are encouraged to confirm current session options and scheduling details.
How her approaches translate to online work
Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going. CBT often focuses on small experiments and practical homework to test new ways of thinking and acting.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills can be useful when strong emotions lead to impulsive choices or when someone needs steadier coping tools.
Mindfulness practices are offered as brief exercises people can use in daily life. These aim to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stressors rather than provide a lengthy meditation practice.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made and needs change.
The practical benefits of online options are about fitting sessions into everyday life. Confirm the session formats she currently offers before booking, since formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals will help tailor session pacing and tools so work in therapy fits into a client’s routine.
