About Christina
Christina Anderson is a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work and 15 years of experience in mental health and addictions. She keeps conversations straightforward and practical so worried parents and adults can follow along. Christina aims to make sessions feel supportive and useful from the first meeting.
Her approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas with person-centered listening and motivational interviewing. She helps people clarify what matters most and take small, usable steps toward those values.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real-life changes - sleep, eating, parenting, work stress, or substance use - not academic theory. Christina has worked across many settings, including schools, hospitals, community agencies, crisis response teams, and EMS. That range informs how she handles urgent problems and ongoing struggles.
She is practiced at helping people manage trauma, grief, mood swings, panic, and addiction concerns. She supports people facing family problems, first responder issues, HIV and hospice-related stress, and the isolation that can come with life transitions. Her work also addresses intimacy, sexuality, ADHD, and career-related strain.
Christina uses solution-focused methods when people want quick, practical changes. Sessions are offered from Indiana and use a mix of in-person and online formats. Christina is comfortable with both short-term coaching-style work and longer-term therapy when needed.

How Christina’s approaches work online
Christina often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name their values and take small, consistent actions toward them. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it focuses on what matters most rather than on perfect solutions.She also uses client-centered therapy, which means listening closely and adapting sessions to each person's pace. That style helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk through grief, trauma, or family problems.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest which methods might fit best. Together they check progress and adjust the plan so therapy stays practical and goal-oriented.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and deeper work, while phone calls can fit a busy day and use less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone wants to type instead of speak. These options make it easier to fit sessions into school schedules, shift work, or caregiving routines.
