About Christina
Christina DeAngelis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and issues around self-esteem and career. She also addresses addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Christina uses straightforward, skills-based work in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and shift unhelpful thinking. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and coping, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas for relationship and intimacy concerns.
Clients can expect clear goals and practical strategies. Christina helps people set small, manageable steps and practices between sessions. She also integrates mindfulness and motivational interviewing to boost awareness and sustain change.
Her approach emphasizes respect and sensitivity while working toward the goals a person names. She supports people through life transitions, workplace stress, and forgiveness work without promising a specific outcome. Christina also works with aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome related concerns, and money or career stress.
Sessions focus on what is most important to the person in front of her. She helps people talk through communication problems, family conflict, jealousy, and worries about life purpose. If someone is looking to address guilt and shame tied to past actions or identity, she offers ways to understand and work with those feelings.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking; it can help with anxiety, guilt, and low self-esteem. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which is useful for relationship and coping challenges.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationship or intimacy issues come up. EFT focuses on understanding emotional responses between people and creating new interaction patterns that reduce blame and increase connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods suit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining CBT, DBT skills, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing techniques over time.
Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep therapy practical and focused on day-to-day changes.
