I've been in therapy for several years now working on triggers stemming from a history of severe child abuse. The past few months I've been looking for a therapist who had more expertise in this area. I heard about Better Help from a podcast I listen to, so I decided to check it out. After reading Christina's profile it was obvious she had the skills and experience I needed. It couldn't have been more true once we had the opportunity to meet. Her deep level of knowledge and compassion have already proven super insightful and healing. Highly recommended.

More about Christina

  • 31 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I hold a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work from New York University and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NJ, CO. and ME. I have more than 30 years of experience in counseling, coaching and providing therapy to individuals, couples, children and families in a variety of settings. Much of my years have been spent assisting those individuals who have experienced trauma, abuse and loss, as well as those challenged by interpersonal(others) and intrapersonal (self) relationships, and those struggling with self esteem and problematic coping skills . Much of my work has also been focused on helping my clients with self esteem, relationship with self, navigating transitions and life changes as well as challenging and changing old programing, belief patterns and life concepts.

Although my education and background is versed in various theoretical foundations, I do not hold fast to any one specific theory or method and greatly align with a person-centered Humanistic and Existential approach honoring each client as a unique individual with their own personal experiences, needs, knowledge and power.

Actively listening and understanding my client's experiences (both past and present) is an essential and ongoing focus in the therapy process with me. Focusing on mind- body connection, the present moment/ mindfulness, and acceptance, as well as coping skills, problem-solving ,emotional learning and self compassion are all a significant part of my work with clients.

I work towards and seek to establish an open and honest dialogue with my clients while creating a nonjudgemental, safe space for my clients to express and communicate their experiences, needs and challenges. Developing a trusting and authentic therapeutic/ human relationship is an extremely important element to my services. The desire to be heard, seen and supported is universal and often ignites the wisdom within us humans that can result in growth, healing and change. I strive to listen carefully, support/counsel, and empower my clients in their own abilities and self-determination to find the answers and path that is right for them.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Jun 2024

Christina is a very approachable soul. She is kind, but direct. I think she is a very good listener, hearing my concerns and folding them into a course of action that will help me reach my goals. From the first day she seemed to understand who I was and approached me in a way that I could hear. I feel she has lived some life and is able to understand where I am coming from through life experience. I would highly recommend Christina.

Nov 2023

Just amazing and truly caring

Oct 2023

She has helped me greatly in taking the next step forward!!

Jul 2023

Christina is without a doubt the best therapist I’ve ever had. Her insights and ability to kindly redirect when you’re not seeing the full picture, or beating yourself up is absolutely amazing and so so helpful. Cannot recommend enough if you’re going through it.

Dec 2022

Christine is great! She responds with thoughtful helpful advice and is very patient with me when I don't respond as quickly.

Sep 2022

Patient, great, and understanding.

Aug 2022

Christina has help me deal with a variety of concerns and showing me the importance of setting boundaries and making myself a priority nn

T.R.·Jul 2022

Christina Pollizzo has been a Godsend. I have had some therapy in the past with 2 different therapists but they were not right fit for me. Christina understood me with just one session and she asked all the right questions and provided so much insight as to how my past has dictated my present. She goes right to the heart of the matter and jumps right in within the first session. I felt at ease telling her my most private thoughts. I highly recommend her!

L.A.·May 2022

I love this app. And Christina has helped me a lot specially with my eating disorder

B.R.·May 2022

Christina gives GREAT feedback and takes an involved approach in being a therapist. For someone like me, who likes to talk to someone who offers their input, having someone like Christina as a therapist offers me the opportunity to hear things from different angles at times, which is so valuable when someone feels stuck due to patterns of trauma or anxiety that often can leave you feeling paralyzed.

E.R.·May 2022

Christina had been incredibly helpful and always responds in a timely manner even when I don't. She's incredibly patient with me when I take too long to get back to her. I would highly recommend her!

T.H.·Jan 2022

An amazing person who has a deep understanding of the human person and how functional and fragile we are.

M.I.·Oct 2021

Shes easy to talk to and offers good advice. We talk about different methods of healing and treatment. I feel like the issues I discuss matter and she doesn't belittle them.

C.O.·Aug 2021

She is the best counselor ever

J.E.·Aug 2021

I have been working with Christina for many years now, and I am so glad Betterhelp did such a great job with matching me with her. She is a very dedicated, kind and professional therapist. Her therapy sessions have been a very great instrument that have helped me throughout the past few years. She provides a very safe and non-judgmental space for therapy. I highly recommend to anyone.

F.U.·Jun 2021

Christina has been a fantastic support, listener, and guide on my journey. More than anything, she's empowered me to be a more kind and loving friend to myself.

C.A.·Apr 2021

Christina is the first person I found on this app who actually listens to me and helps me. She keeps me opening minded while also making me feel validated. I’m so glad I found her.

K.A.·Mar 2021

Amazing, understanding person. In all the years of therapy I have been through, she has made me realize no one else really understood what I’ve been going through. I have made more breakthroughs in the short time I have been working with her than in all my years of therapy.

M.I.·Mar 2021

Although I’ve only been working with Christina for a short amount of time, I can tell she’s a very understanding counselor and good listener. She’s very attentive and responsive through BetterHelp. At times, our discussions make me feel better and safer.

S.A.·Dec 2020

Christina is amazing! She has been working with me to help me through a very difficult time in my life. She is very quick with her response and very helpful!

T.R.·Dec 2020

I genuinely love my experience with my counselor and Better Help. I find my counselor to be very thorough and understanding of my issues/problems. She asks questions in order to obtain a better understanding of my needs and concerns. I genuinely recommend this counselor.

A.R.·Nov 2020

Christina has helped me a lot with my issues and helped me figure out where or when or why they started i m very thankful to have her as my counselor. Thank you!

B.R.·Sep 2020

Christina was amazing! She was able to offer validation, thoughtful feed back and words of encouragement. She balanced being a professional while offering genuine connection. I will miss working with her!

L.Y.·Sep 2020

Christina is great! She responds back to me quickly and also checks in on me when I don't respond. That is accountability that I need. She's a great listener.

J.E.·Aug 2020

I have enjoyed my time talking with Christina. We have identified some key issues and areas to be aware of despite only just starting to talk not that long ago. She is able to listen to my concerns, empathize and offer solutions/ideas to what I bring up.

J.E.·Jul 2020

I have been in therapy with Christina for 5+ years. Through/with her, I am living/experiencing the person and life I never had...and would not have had, without her! She listens, she cares, and she is constantly working for and with you, helping you to get where you choose to be!

M.I.·Jun 2020

After so many years by different therapists, I never felt listened to. Christina totally changed my feelings and thoughts on therapy and has given me hope to find serenity and peace in my life :)

K.A.·Jun 2020

I would highly recommend Christina! I've just started working with her & I already feel like she understands me better than any other therapists I have tried to work with. She responds promptly, follows up, listens, ask questions, gives me actual advise on ways to start helping me figure things out....for once, I actually feel very hopefully that I will get the help & tools I need to improve myself!

P.O.·Jun 2020

Very attentive and good listener. Make sure she understands you and how she can really help.

J.O.·May 2020

Christina is an amazing therapist because she's an excellent listener. I truly feel like I'm being heard. And I respect how she asks me questions to help me work through my feelings and my frustrations.

F.I.·Mar 2020

Christina has been absolutely amazing. I've learned, discovered, and sifted through more with her in a few months than all of my previous counseling combined. Often times one gets discouraged when a counselor is a bad fit, but Christina came perfect at a time in my life where guidance and hard work was needed to be done, and a whole lot of self reflecting. She's been absolutely amazing!

Z.O.·Mar 2020

She is very kind to me understands fully what I need. She is a very good listener and is honest on our session. I talked so much, I didn’t even know it was time for our session to stop. She is very nice thank you.

B.R.·Jan 2020

Christina, you are awesome!!! I honestly don’t know what I’d do without you. Thank you so much!!!

P.A.·Dec 2019

Christina has helped me overcome several hurdles when life seems it fit to throw several at me at a time. I could not say enough positive things about her council, or betterhelp.com.

S.H.·Dec 2019

Christina is a true confidant, an attentive listener, and a gentle counselor who knows exactly what to say and when it’s needed the most. I am beyond thankful for her services.

E.L.·Sep 2019

Christina is awesome!!! So grateful to have her as my counselor.

P.A.·Jul 2019

Christina has been with me through some pretty dark times. She has helped me feel heard and acknowledged, and she has given me the tools to feel strong when in the past, I wouldn't have had the strength. I am beyond grateful for her guidance in navigating some pretty rough emotions.

S.H.·Jul 2019

Christina has been an amazing support since day one. Constantly encouraging me to be gentle and loving with myself so I can be that for those around me.

C.A.·Apr 2019

Christina is 10/10 amazing. We only chat and she really gets the message through. She "gets it" and finds ways to tie things together that blows my mind and makes perfect sense. Highly recommend!!

L.A.·Mar 2019

Christina Polizzo is a well educated, knowledgeable, and empathic counselor. I feel completely comfortable talking with her and I trust her expertise. She treats me like a human being and not just another “client.” She is my greatest supporter as well as my greatest motivator.

L.A.·Feb 2019

Christina helps me to stay grounded in the present moment and to appreciate what I can do in the here and now, and not worry about what might happen in the future. She is a breath of fresh air in a very chaotic period of time in my life.

S.A.·Feb 2019

I love this woman. So kind, compassionate, and exactly the perfect fit for me :)

G.R.·Dec 2018

So far, Christina has been extremely helpful for me. She seems to understand, and help make me feel like things will be okay. I like that she doesn’t talk to me like I am a ticking time bomb like some counselors have in the past.

D.A.·Nov 2018

What can I say Christina is AMAZING! I been working with her for over a year and she has gotten me through some pretty tough times. I honestly don't know what I would've done without her.

R.I.·Nov 2018

She has shown great compassion and knowledge during a hard time in our families life.

D.E.·May 2018

Christina is a very supportive and understanding counsellor. She helped and supported me through my toughest time. I have managed to be a better me thanks to her counseling!

V.I.·Apr 2018

Christina has been key to helping me keep it together. She is understanding and caring. She always gives good advice that I trust. Very knowledgeable.

J.O.·Mar 2018

My therapist, Christina Polizzo, has been a huge help to me in so many ways. I feel like I'm on a journey of self-discovery when I'm talking with her and she asks just the right questions to make me see things clearly. I find that I feel much more comfortable talking with her than I anticipated I would feel with talking to a therapist online. She makes it easy to open up, but she isn't easy on me...if that makes sense. I feel she pushes me just the right amount, but is also an ear that I can vent to whenever I need one. Due to the nature of my work, I'm on the go a lot, and traveling out of state about once a month for days at a time. I love the fact that I can send her a quick message with a few random thoughts/questions, while I'm sitting in an airport, and know that I will get a response back sometimes before I land in my destination. It makes me feel like someone is always there for me. She doesn't judge me, and she makes me feel like I'm in a safe space with her. I started this off with just a week and liked the process and her so much that I extended to a month...then I realized we were doing REAL work and making progress on things already and extended for a year. I don't contact her every day, but I know that I can and that is an amazing feeling. I truly look forward to every time I have a live session with her, and find her to be a great sounding board. Highly recommend!

N.I.·Jan 2018

You can tell Christina listens and cares by how she discovers little things about you that weren't explicitly said. She can help you look at things from a new perspective and context, and always has something to offer.

C.A.·Dec 2017

Christina has always been so supportive of what I am doing! She always takes her time to respond to everything I tell her, which always made me feel valued. She has helped me get through some low spots in my life and she has been there to enhance the good. Thank you for everything!

C.H.·Dec 2017

Thanks for all that you do and the space that you hold.

C.A.·Dec 2017

Christina has been there through all the ups and downs and continues to be an amazing support system for me. She helps me unpack my feelings and never makes me feel bad about how I'm feeling. She's AMAZING.

S.A.·Oct 2017

I have had a wonderful experience with Christina so far. In just a short period of time Christina has helped me a lot with what I'm currently experiencing in order to help some of my anxiety and depression now, rather than diving deep into the past and working forward. The tools and tips she has given me have been incredibly helpful! She is a very caring individual and I highly recommend her as a counselor.

A.B.·Oct 2017

Christina is amazing! She is able to help me sort out all my emotions and gives the support and comfort I need. Sometimes when I just need someone to vent, she's there to listen and she's really patient with me since I don't always respond back in a timely fashion. She checks up on me and she genuinely cares about what is going on in my life. 10/10 would recommend!

L.E.·Oct 2017

Christina has been a life saver for me. I have problems with self esteem and anxiety and she makes me feel a lot better about myself. Christina is great because she understands you and she wants to help you out. I wasn't expecting much when I signed up to BetterHelp but I was wrong. I'm so glad that Christina has been there to help me through my problems and I'm seeing the results myself. I'm very thankful for Christina and I believe she is one of the very best at her job.

J.A.·Oct 2017

I love speaking with Christina. She helps me keep a level head. She is always as helpful as possible and does all she can to work with me. I love that Christina does her best to be right on top of her responses and is 100% involved in our conversation.

K.R.·Aug 2017

All I can say is that Christina is truly AMAZING!!!!

H.E.·Aug 2017

Christina helped me make progress getting over a breakup - it was such a comfort having someone to give me advice and I liked how easy it was to use the app. She was so non-judgemental and didn't just offer her opinion but made me reflect a lot and taught me exercises that I can take with me in the future. Really pleased I decided to use Better Help and would not hesitate to recommend it.

L.A.·Jul 2017

Great counselor. She is supportive and really tries to understand and work with you.

T.I.·Jul 2017

I think she's doing a wonderful job. She's always supportive of me and gives me answers to my problems. I think this will really help me grow.

Z.O.·Jul 2017

Christina has been a great help to me, an asset to getting myself back on track! Her advice has been logical, concise, and accurate. Christina is genuine and cares about people.

R.I.·Jul 2017

I don't know if i could have come through some rough patches that i have without BetterHelp. More than thankful for this experience! Christina is awesome and so understanding and insightful. Thank you, BetterHelp and Christina!

D.E.·Jul 2017

Christina is very easy to open up to. I don't feel judged at all and have been able to be more honest through writing than I have found in person. I like Christina's style, she responds simply but has obviously put a lot of thought into the questions she asks and can see the big picture.

J.E.·Jul 2017

I can't believe how much help online counseling has been and can be. My counselor Christina has been extremely supportive of me. I feel she is very knowledgeable in her field and I am so happy I got the opportunity to work with her. I feel it will improve my life.

M.A.·Jun 2017

Christina has been the architect of my journey towards facing my issues with compassion and to start truly loving myself. I now have tools to cope with the ups and downs of life. My deeply rooted internal stability (or at least an attempt of it!) is largely due to her guidance, understanding, and empathy. Thanks again!

Y.A.·Jun 2017

Christina is just wonderful. She listens, is patient, kind and warm. I have only spoken to her through messages on the computer, but her aura shines through each message on my screen. I am so thankful that she is helping me on my journey.

S.T.·Jun 2017

Christina helps me to see things clearly and from another perspective, that I trust, and makes sense. She has always been very honest, helpful and professional, her knowledge and empathy is very useful, that helps me understand myself much better, all this makes me believe that very hard problems can be dealt with, if we seek help. She is definitely a great therapist.

S.I.·Jun 2017

Christina Polizzo has been great. Her words and very genuine and kind. I can feel her compassion and care as a professional counselor. She has encouraged me to work on myself and it has paid off already! She is one of your best, I am glad to have used BetterHelp because of her.

L.E.·Jun 2017

Christina is very insightful and caring. I feel supported and encouraged. She is detailed and prompt in all communication. She shares many helpful techniques. I can't say enough good things about her; she's helped me so much in a short amount of time. Thank you.

M.E·May 2017

Christina is amazing. She has an incredible gift for listening to you and asking questions that lead you into deeper understanding and awareness. I made incredible progress on integration and understanding of the issues I was dealing with because of her compassion and openness to helping me.

K.E.·May 2017

She's really understanding, patient and actually helped me a lot going through hardest times.

E.V·Apr 2017

Christina is a great listener and has provided some very helpful insights as to what I'm going through. I feel like I'm truly being understood and validated. I have been enjoying the chats we have and it's helping me move forward in life and understand myself better.

J.A.·Apr 2017

Christina is awesome. She's very attentive and responds quickly. I feel totally comfortable telling her and asking her anything. She makes sure to follow up if I haven't responded. She opens my eyes to things I hadn't thought about previously and is very empathetic and compassionate. I highly recommend her.

B.R.·Apr 2017

I feel like Christina listens and tries hard to understand what I am feeling and offers guidance rather than direct instruction. Sometimes it is important to find your own way and I think it is important for a therapist who can facilitate that without putting too much of their perspective into it. I think Christina has found a good balance.

L.A.·Apr 2017

Christina is a wonderful counselor. She is easy to talk to and has been patient, engaged, and present in witnessing my pain and reflecting a compassionate and caring presence. She is able to meet me where I'm at and hold a safe place for me to process and move through my issues.

J.E·Apr 2017

My experience with the therapist is very positive. She is understanding, empathetic, informative and supportive!

C.O.·Apr 2017

Christina is wonderful, she is so open and caring. Never let's me feel like I'm a bother or a nuisance. I hear from her everyday and she makes me feel like someone is there for me. She is helping me decipher what's real and what isn't and her patience is really appreciated.

C.H·Apr 2017

Incredibly thoughtful, a great listener, and makes me feel validated in my feelings

S.A·Apr 2017

Compassionate, empathetic and attentive.

Y.U·Apr 2017

Christina has been great from day 1. She is always there with helpful advice and always helps with whatever situation I am dealing with. She is a pleasure to work with.

S.C·Feb 2017

She provides great insight into my thoughts and gives good solutions to try and overcome things. I would recommend her to anyone going through low times and needing someone to help process their behaviors.

P.H·Feb 2017

Christina is really easy to talk to. She doesn't judge or make you feel uncomfortable. She is knowledgeable and gives great advice and helpful solutions that you might not have thought of before. She replies to long messages with lengthy messages of her own, and it's clear that she reads every detail you divulge in. I would highly recommend Christina as your online counselor if you feel you need one.

A.L·Jan 2017

Christina has been very supportive at a time when I though I was losing my mind. She goes the extra mile. I have found her support invaluable. I needed someone to drag me out of a dark place. I had signed up in a desperate state and with just a few messages I began to feel like I could overcome my situation. She made me feel like I could say anything and it was safe. It's the first time I have ever looked at how life events can impact you.

T.I·Jan 2017

Christina is amazing. Plain and simple. She listened without judgement and was prompt with her responses. She is kind and compassionate and that really shows.

Christina is great! Helped me through a rough patch I was going through.

A.N·Dec 2016

Christina creates a great environment for you to express yourself. She doesn't belittle you and instead makes you feel that she is there to help you without any judgement.

T.O·Dec 2016

Christina has been a great help - very attentive and personal. She really cares about you and wants you to feel better, and suggests things out of the ordinary I wouldn't expect, like yoga. I felt better getting things off of my chest and the advice relayed to me was also very helpful.

H.I·Dec 2016

Christina has been absolutely wonderful. It was as though she always knew when I needed her messages, and she always asked questions that made me think in a way that was different than what I was used to. Thanks to her help, I have been able to handle one of the worst events in my life.

C.H·Dec 2016

Christina is one of the most warm-hearted, compassionate human beings I have ever talked to. She has a great perspective on life and really takes time to connect with you. She has a lot of different ways to cope and a lot of healing methods both traditional and non-traditional. If it were not for Christina I do not know how I would handle life. She is truly a wonderful human being. Thank you again Christina.

A.C·Dec 2016

I really enjoy using BetterHelp and look forward to Christina's messages.

A.L·Dec 2016

Christina has been great. She is always ready to listen and acknowledges my thoughts and feelings, making me feel very comfortable. I look forward to continuing working with her.

S.A·Nov 2016

Christina is attentive and understanding. She has a way of wording things that have helped guide me on my path in an empathetic and delicate way and for that I am extremely thankful. I would strongly recommend her :)

Y.A·Nov 2016

Great help!

V.I·Nov 2016

Christina is very easy to talk to. If you came here for an easygoing friend, you found her.

Despite me being very skeptical in the beginning, Christina proved to me otherwise - she was absolutely amazing. She was very understanding with everything, she listened, I really could see she read absolutely everything through, she worked her way through to make me feel safe and better and it almost felt like she knew what to say and ask exactly the right things at the right time. I clicked with her perfectly and can recommend her to anyone, especially with a traumatic past.

I absolutely love Christina's approach and understanding, she is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I went through a serious trauma in my life and she provided me with the tools to pass through it faster, with more confidence. I highly recommend her to anybody who is going through a lot in their life, because she is an extraordinary professional.

In thirty five years of therapy (on and off), I feel better in only the six weeks of therapy I have had so far, in working with Christina. I would highly, highly recommend working with her!

Christina has been and is a wonderful support. I entered this process not sure what to expect. I was confused and needed to face life changing decisions. Christina was quick in understanding the nature of my problem and was very honest in telling me her opinion on what was happening in my life. Using very gentle, helpful, and non judgmental language she helped me to see my life in a new and different way and in this way helped me to realise and come to terms with the decision I had to make. She is still helping me through a period of change and transition in my life. I highly recommend her for her honesty and for her human and gentle approach in helping her clients to discover their true selves and to find inner peace in their lives.

Straight to the point. Caring and eager to talk I feel comfortable and feel like Christina is helping me.

Christina is awesome. I haven't known for a while but speaking to her just makes me feel okay. He ask me questions and she gives plenty of advice (as she should, lol) but I love how she digs deep in what I am saying. Christina you rock !!!!

Christina is wonderful to talk to.

G.I·Aug 2016

While I'm still new to the counseling process, I've found Christina to be very helpful and supportive in providing feedback and suggestions to help me address issues that I've found it hard to find solutions for. Having a counselor available to assist me has given me the opportunity to resolve some problems I've been dealing with for quite some time, without needing to go to a distant office during regular office hours. Thank you Christina!

Christina has been wonderful. She has helped me deal with my situation and put things into perspective. I can whole heartedly recommend her.

J.O·Aug 2016

Christina is absolutely fantastic! Ever since the first exchange of messages, I felt like Christina was truly listening and this encouraged me to be fully open with her. The conversation immediately became a non-judgmental space and through talking with Christina, I found that my general mood during that time was much improved. There was no pressure whatsoever for me to talk about any one thing, and if mid-conversation I decided I wanted to talk about something else, we did. She made it very clear that I should talk about something when I want to, no matter what it may be. Towards the end of my time with her, Christina asked me about an issue I had brought up in one of our first conversations, and had not mentioned since. I thought this was amazing. It shows that she doesn't just scan through what you say, she really does take it on board and care if you're improving or not. I would 100% recommend Christina! No doubt, if I decide to use this service again, I will be requesting Christina once again!
