More about Christina

- LPC
As a licensed therapist in South Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address challenges like depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns. I'm particularly passionate about working with young adults, women, and individuals experiencing social anxiety, isolation, and relationship difficulties.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate and collaborative, focusing on empowering clients to develop stronger self-understanding and healthier coping strategies. I create a supportive environment where individuals can explore personal growth, heal from past experiences, and build resilience.
I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients work through issues such as panic attacks, attachment challenges, workplace stress, and family dynamics. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering guidance and support as you develop more meaningful connections with yourself and others.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
