About Christina
Christina Dolese is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Louisiana. She brings four years of experience helping adults who are facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and major life changes. Christina focuses on practical support and steady, straightforward conversation rather than jargon.
She aims to create a calm, non-judgmental space where people can talk through painful memories and confusing feelings. Sessions tend to focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and increasing self-compassion.
Background and approach
Christina often helps people sort through relationship and family tensions without overwhelming them with theory. Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person’s lead, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness tools are used to help manage stress in the moment.
Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy are added when people want to clarify values or make sense of their life story. Christina works with a range of concerns including parenting strain, trauma and abuse, anger, ADHD, caregiver stress, and body image issues. She also addresses complex themes such as attachment troubles, codependency, blended family issues, and grief tied to separation or loss.
The focus is on small, manageable steps forward. People who prefer a conversational, down-to-earth style often find her approach helpful. Christina supports clients in setting clear goals, trying new ways of coping, and tracking progress over time.
She invites people to take the next step when they are ready to begin.
Approaches for online sessions and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and more confident in making choices about their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and lift mood. It is useful for stress, depression, and managing overwhelming thoughts.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Christina will discuss your goals and preferences and test methods together to see what fits. That collaborative search can change over time as needs shift, with the therapist adjusting techniques to match progress and challenges.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters most. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people keep momentum between sessions and fit brief check-ins into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while adapting to daily life.
