About Christina

Christina Miller is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Alabama with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, depression, addictions, grief, and family of origin issues. Christina also supports people dealing with intimacy problems, body image, ADHD, and life transitions.

Her style blends solution-focused work with methods that look at personal stories and internal parts. Sessions often involve clear goal-setting, practical skills to manage mood and conflict, and conversations that name repeating family patterns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking and behavior, and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their life story.

Christina has spent two decades helping people untangle problems that trace back to early family roles and expectations. She talks through communication habits, control issues, and how caregiving stress or blended family dynamics affect daily life. She also addresses addiction, infidelity, and fertility or fatherhood concerns when these are part of a client's story.

Her work includes collaborative planning, short-term strategies, and longer-term exploration when needed. Christina integrates elements of the Gottman Method when relationship skills are a focus, and she draws on Internal Family Systems ideas to map internal conflicts. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical coping techniques, and attention to how family history shows up now.

Sessions are conducted in English. Christina accepts international clients; confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; this is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people retell and reframe family stories that continue to influence their choices and relationships. When relationship skills are a focus, elements of the Gottman Method are used to build clearer communication and reduce destructive patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. They then decide together which methods to prioritize and when to shift strategies if needed.

Confirm current session formats before booking because this profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while balancing everyday demands.
