About Christina
Christina Janiszeski is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of clinical experience based in Minnesota. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and issues tied to family of origin. She also helps people coping with grief, anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
Christina uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens to a person's current struggles and reviews how patterns from their upbringing show up now. Conversations often include looking at beliefs, habits, and decision patterns that came from early family roles or expectations.
Her work draws on client-centered techniques that prioritize the person's perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing may be added to support change and build new skills.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings. That can mean short experiments, behavior changes, or simple communication practices to test different ways of relating. Christina also addresses substance use and burnout issues with practical strategies and goal-setting.
People who want a clear, steady approach to unpacking family patterns and current problems will find a straightforward, problem-focused process. Before starting, clients complete a brief questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to set goals and plan next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Christina commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered Therapy focuses on the person's concerns and perspective, helping them name what matters and set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors, testing small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice stress reactions and choose a different response. These approaches are practical and skills-focused, which can fit well into remote sessions and between-session practice.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Christina 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 over time based on progress and feedback.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking since options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use remote work to focus on real-world skills and homework that clients can try between appointments.
