About Christina
Christina Louise Senn blends a client-centered approach with practical therapeutic tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and compassion fatigue. She is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with five years of professional experience. Christina focuses on meeting people where they are and building on their strengths to navigate change.
Her sessions start with listening. She treats the person, not just the problem, and works to understand each client's values and priorities.
Background and approach
From that foundation she introduces techniques that fit each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Christina uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on dialectical behavior ideas to teach practical emotion and coping skills.
When trauma or distress from past events is present, she may incorporate approaches designed to reduce the intensity of those memories. She has particular experience supporting people facing loneliness, chronic pain or illness, seasonal affective symptoms, and mood disorders. Christina also works with people navigating sexual diversity, kink and alternative sex culture, polyamory, and LGBT concerns.
Veterans and those with aging or geriatric questions find her grounded and direct. Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. Christina helps people set clear goals, practice small changes, and track progress.
She supports clients in making sustainable shifts that fit their daily lives.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building on what already works for them. Sessions emphasize listening, validation, and collaborative goal-setting to help reduce stress and improve daily functioning.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings connect. Christina uses CBT techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new ways of responding to anxiety, low mood, and social anxiety.
Dialectical behavior therapy, often called DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. These skills can be useful for stress, mood instability, and situations that bring on strong reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they test strategies, adjust as needed, and track what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when that feels helpful. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer writing. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit into busy days and different routines.
