About Christina

Christina Brown is a Washington state Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career struggles, depression, and the strain of life changes. Christina’s practice also addresses issues related to abandonment, attachment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and family-of-origin concerns.

She uses straightforward conversation and evidence-based methods to help people sort what matters most. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking rather than jargon. Christina adapts her approach to each person’s situation while keeping things direct and manageable.

Her toolkit includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. These approaches are used to work on thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that keep someone stuck. She helps people practice new ways of responding to painful feelings and confusing situations.

Christina pays attention to real-life demands like work, caregiving, and family roles. She helps people break problems into small steps and build doable skills. Conversations often touch on communication, commitment concerns, control issues, and coping after trauma or disruption.

People meet with her to talk through immediate worries and to build longer-term coping. She explains options, practices strategies in session, and checks what is helpful going forward.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing concrete behavior changes to reduce distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches moment-to-moment awareness and simple practices to calm reactivity and increase clarity.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christina will talk with each person about what feels most useful and try techniques that fit their goals. That collaborative testing helps identify what to keep, change, or drop as therapy progresses.

Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or school by removing commute time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed or audio-only calls when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is helpful. Many people find remote sessions make it simpler to keep therapy part of daily life; discuss practical preferences during the initial scheduling step to plan sessions that work for you.
