I love Christina! She has been extremely helpful in navigating a lot of big changes in my life. I was hesitant to jump back into therapy after a 10 year break, but I'm so happy I did. She's wonderful!

I’ve literally only had two sessions with Christina so far! I already feel so comfortable with her and she is so easy to talk to! I like how she can open my eyes to look at a situation differently going on in my life. I am really looking forward to her working with me through and EMDR approach. I highly recommend Christina!
More about Christina
- 4 years' experience

- LCSW, LICSW
Hello, My name is Christina and I am a Licensed Clinician Social Worker in Missouri with 4 years of professional work experience in therapy. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, women’s empowerment, parenting problems, substance abuse, and coping with life changes. Before becoming a therapist I worked as an Intensive In-Home specialist where I worked with families in establishing a safe and healthy living environment. I have worked with ages 3 and up, but find working with teens and adults to be my passion.
I have been trained in EMDR and am in the process of being certified. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I am here to help guide you through the journey of your life. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect and compassion. Every person is unique and I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Good therapist, does her job well. Professional and helpful
Very good and professional at what she does.
I love Christina! She is awesome. She always has resources to help me. She cares for me, like truly cares. She helps keep me on track, whether it be my schedule is getting crazy and hard to work around. Or whether it’s just a simple message checking in and saying “Hi. I’m here. I want to help. What do you need?”
Christina is always so understanding with literally anything I say to her. She is very supportive but also able to help me realize when I'm being a little dramatic.. which I need sometimes
Going well. thank you
Truly the best! Super amazing at what she does, in every way.
She very good and professional at what she does.
I wasn’t sure if counseling/therapy was right for me, but it was one of the best decisions I have made thus far. Christina is a great listener, very understanding, relate-able and recommended tools relevant to my situation. I highly recommend her and counseling for anyone struggling through life’s difficult stages.
She listens very well and always has great ideas. If that idea doesn’t work for you, she’s got another one! She also is very compassionate and understanding
Christina is incredibly kind and so very insightful. She’s helped me SO much with my anxiety and depression issues. I really feel like I’ve done a complete 180 since I started working with her. I can’t recommend her enough!!
She is a great therapist that helps you work on things for yourself but gives great guiding the whole time.
Christina has helped me while being my therapist in ways that I couldn't help myself. I will always be thankful for that.
She is extremely warm and a great listener. She offers plenty of way to help. She’s also tries to get the full story which always helps when you can’t figure out something yourself. Glad she is my therapist.
