About Christina
Christina Burnett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses a client-centered style to help people through stressful and painful times. She brings 12 years of experience focused on anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, and life changes. Christina speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel manageable and focused on what matters most to each person.
Christina earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Penn State University and a master’s degree in social work from the University of New England. She began her counseling work in community mental health and substance abuse treatment, supporting adults involved with criminal and family court systems. That early work shaped her interest in practical help for workplace and legal stressors.
Her clinical approach centers on the person in front of her. She blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing techniques to address behavior patterns, coping skills, and motivation to change. Christina also draws on Jungian ideas when exploring personal themes and identity concerns.
She has substantial experience addressing substance use and process addictions, codependency and attachment issues, panic and trauma-related concerns, and workplace or career stress. Christina often helps people break cycles of shame, guilt, and impulsivity while building clearer communication and healthier self-regard.
Christina works as an LCSW in Pennsylvania and conducts therapy in English. Sessions are offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling is arranged according to therapist availability.
How Christina’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Christina often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and guiding people to find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs support naming feelings, building self-compassion, or making difficult decisions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to manage anxiety, panic, and depression. CBT can be useful for short-term goals like reducing panic attacks or changing unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts the mix of client-centered listening, CBT techniques, and motivational strategies as sessions progress.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings, use audio-only if video feels difficult, or arrange sessions that better match work or family schedules. Licensed professionals can tailor approaches so the work remains practical and goal-focused even when done remotely.
