About Christina
Christina Brown is a Washington-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career struggles, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses family of origin issues and related concerns such as attachment and communication problems.
Christina uses straightforward conversation to help people notice patterns that come from their upbringing. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and to try new ways of responding. Mindfulness practices and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are woven into sessions to help with emotion regulation and with focusing on valued actions.
Her style follows client-centered principles, so sessions tend to center on the person's priorities and pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are available when people need concrete tools for distress tolerance and managing intense feelings. Sessions mix discussion with short skills practice and simple behavior steps to try between meetings.
Christina sees many clients who are trying to change long-standing family patterns that still affect relationships and self-image. She helps people clarify what they want to keep and what they want to change. Practical steps, repeated practice, and checking progress are emphasized rather than long explanations.
Clients are guided to set clear goals and to notice small improvements. The focus is on usable tools that fit day-to-day life and on making steady, understandable progress over time.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking actions that align with those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT can help when old family patterns get in the way of making different choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and gives clear strategies to test unhelpful beliefs and try new responses. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and mood difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these options with the client and decide together which methods to prioritize based on goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and adapt as progress is made or new obstacles appear.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking. If you plan to use online work, check which session formats Christina offers at sign-up. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Many people find that specific CBT or ACT exercises translate well to a remote setting and that mindfulness practices can be guided in a single meeting or assigned as short daily exercises.
