Christina Ashby is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression, and trauma. She brings a calm, practical approach and aims to meet people where they are. Her work includes supporting those dealing with grief, addictions, parenting strain, workplace issues, and questions about intimacy.
Christina draws on 12 years of practice to create straightforward sessions. She listens for strengths and builds simple steps clients can use between meetings. Spiritual beliefs can be included when a client wants that incorporated into care.
In sessions she uses a mix of focused methods to address thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Christina often uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people slow down and regulate strong feelings.
For relationship concerns she applies ideas from the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy to improve communication and repair connection. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when stronger emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed.
Christina asks clients to be in Texas during appointments and to share basic background details before the first session so work can begin efficiently. She encourages honest, practical talk and partners with clients to set reasonable goals and next steps.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Christina uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives clear exercises to practice between sessions. She also integrates mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and increase emotional awareness. Mindfulness skills are often used alongside other techniques to steady strong emotions and improve focus.
Finding the best approach is part of the process. Christina partners with clients to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adapt exercises and the pace of work based on what the client finds useful.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people practice new skills in the settings where they live and work, so changes carry over into everyday life.
