Christina Macnamara, LCSW

Christina Macnamara is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 29 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, parenting stress, and family-of-origin patterns. She works with people navigating life changes, caregiving strain, ADHD, and the lasting effects of attachment and abandonment issues. Sessions focus on practical steps to feel less stuck and more able to make decisions.

Christina uses a client-centered approach that aims to be straightforward and collaborative. She often draws on solution-focused ideas to identify small, useful changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors that can reduce anxiety and low mood.

Her style is pragmatic. Conversations look at current problems and past family patterns that still show up now. She talks through concrete strategies for coping, communication, and managing stress. Work may include planning short experiments, practicing new ways of relating, or developing simple routines to manage overwhelm.

Christina has long experience supporting people dealing with grief, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and complex life transitions. She also addresses concerns around adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, body image, and co-morbid conditions. Clients who want clear steps and steady collaboration often find this approach helpful.

To begin, she asks about current difficulties, goals, and what has or has not worked before. From there she and the client set small, measurable steps to try between sessions and review progress regularly.
