About Christina
Dr. Christina Collins is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 16 years of clinical experience based in North Carolina. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, and related issues such as self-esteem and intimacy-related problems.
Collins often supports people facing life and career direction questions and those coping with medical challenges like cancer. She also addresses caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, isolation and loneliness, and problems that stem from family of origin and attachment wounds.
Her approach draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, client-centered techniques, and mindfulness practices. Sessions focus on noticing inner experience, strengthening self-relationship, and improving how people connect with others.
In practical terms, Collins uses conversation and experiential methods. People can expect to reflect on patterns from earlier relationships, practice new ways of interacting, and bring attention to bodily and emotional responses. She encourages steady steps rather than sudden change.
Clients often work on clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and managing anxiety in social or relational situations. She also helps people process grief and adjust to illness or life transitions. To begin, visitors follow the site process to match and schedule an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Collins uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and connections; this helps with relationship concerns and issues tied to abandonment or attachment. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to identify and name feelings in the moment and to practice new ways of responding when emotions run high. Client-Centered techniques emphasize listening, reflection, and helping people notice their own needs and choices.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try methods in sessions, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. That way the work matches the client's preferences and the problems they want to address.
The site lists how to begin and the subscription-based cost model; please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make planning easier, for example by fitting sessions into a lunch break or shortening check-ins when needed. It also allows use of experiential exercises, emotion-focused conversations, and mindfulness practices without requiring travel, so therapy can be fitted into everyday life.
