About Christina
Christina Willis is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Oklahoma with five years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, stress, and life changes. Christina also lists social anxiety and phobia among the concerns she supports.
She uses practical, talk-based work to help people understand what gets in the way of well-being. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that can change daily life. Christina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused methods to break down problems into manageable pieces.
Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants to change patterns around substance use or other risky behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and responds, letting the person's priorities shape each session. Together these approaches aim to build skills for coping with mood shifts, relationship stress, and transitions.
Christina often helps people with relationship and family-related struggles such as communication problems, codependency, and attachment concerns. She also addresses issues like body image, guilt and shame, isolation, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose.
Practical work in sessions may include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, setting small behavior goals, and rehearsing different ways to speak up or set boundaries. She asks about strengths and past successes to support change. To start, clients complete an intake so sessions can focus on immediate concerns and a clear plan.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, which means online sessions emphasize what the person wants to address and pace the work accordingly. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises to change unhelpful patterns; online sessions can include worksheets, thought records, and behavior experiments to try between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the concern, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That collaborative process lets clients decide whether a practical skills focus or a more exploratory style feels better.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings around work or caregiving by removing travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that do not require video if that helps someone manage nerves or bandwidth. Overall, the aim is to make therapy manageable and to translate CBT, solution-focused techniques, and motivational interviewing into concrete steps that fit everyday life.
