About Christina
Christina Briggs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10 years of professional experience, licensed in Mississippi and Tennessee. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem. Christina also offers help around motivation and confidence.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what is happening now. Christina uses practical conversation and skills to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness to give concrete tools for day-to-day coping.
In sessions she pays attention to how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. That can mean practicing breathing or grounding skills, testing new behaviors between meetings, and noticing patterns that keep someone stuck. Christina often breaks down problems into small steps so progress feels manageable.
She has worked across clinical settings for a decade, seeing a range of concerns from addiction and domestic violence to chronic illness and grief. That background informs how she plans practical steps with each person.
People bring many kinds of shame or guilt into therapy - about things they did, didn’t do, or who they are. Christina helps people name those feelings and look at them with clear questions and skills work. Her aim is to help people find different ways of responding to the feelings that keep coming up.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Christina uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves short practical exercises and clear steps to test new ways of responding to anxiety, guilt, or addictive urges. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-style exercises teach specific coping skills for intense emotions and urges, and can be practiced between sessions. Mindfulness therapy is used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity through simple breathing and noticing practices. Finding the right blend of these approaches is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and day-to-day life. She checks in on what works and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses. Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online meetings helpful because they fit more easily into a busy schedule, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or remove travel time. Online sessions can let a person practice skills in the context of their daily routine while still working closely with a licensed professional.Areas of expertise
