About Christina
Christina Dawson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with six years of experience. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, addiction issues, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also supports parents managing transitions and people struggling with communication problems, guilt, and shame.
Her sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversation. She aims to help clients notice patterns, learn coping skills, and make changes that fit their life. Christina uses an evidence-based, secular approach that respects each person’s values and beliefs.
Christina describes therapy as collaborative work. She listens first, then helps set goals together and tries methods that match those goals. Expect straightforward guidance, space to process painful experiences, and tools you can use between sessions.
Over six years she has worked with a range of concerns related to stress, trauma, and addictive behaviors. That background informs how she helps people manage strong emotions, reduce avoidance, and repair strained communication.
Christina invites clients to move at a manageable pace. She supports parents through transitions and helps individuals gain control over anger and reduce shame. The aim is steady progress toward clearer thinking and better daily functioning.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and insight. One common approach helps people learn specific coping skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing strategies, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. Another approach targets processing trauma and abuse by helping clients make sense of painful memories and reduce their emotional hold through structured, paced work.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will discuss options with each person and pick methods that match their goals, comfort level, and values. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress and needs change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can also use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care during life transitions or when in-person visits are difficult to arrange.
