About Christina

Christina Brown is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with four years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career challenges, depression, and major life changes. Her practice emphasizes clear, practical conversations and steady support during hard moments.

She uses several evidence-based approaches to guide sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Sessions include straightforward techniques to manage anxious thoughts, build confidence, and make choices that match personal values. Mindfulness exercises and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy are available when helpful to manage intense emotions and increase moment-to-moment coping.

Christina prefers an open client-centered stance, listening first to what matters most to each person. She works with clients to set short-term goals and practices to try between sessions. Those small steps are reviewed and adjusted over time to fit real life demands like work and family responsibilities.

Sessions are practical and focused on what the client needs right now. She brings experience helping people navigate attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and codependency, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and communication or control problems. She also supports those coping with domestic violence effects, family-of-origin difficulties, and the emotional effects of disasters.

Christina conducts work in English and practices in Washington. She uses her LMHC credential in clinical work and structures treatment around collaborative decision making and measurable steps toward clients’ stated goals.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts without being driven by them and clarifying personal values to guide action. It can help when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of things a person cares about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning. It is often helpful for worry, low mood, and confidence problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Sessions include checking what works and setting practical steps to practice between meetings.

Confirm the current session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different formats can support quieter conversations, options without video, or brief sessions that fit a lunch break; discuss which arrangement best suits daily routines during the initial scheduling process.
