About Christina
Christina Turner is an Alabama licensed professional counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and issues around self-esteem and career stress. Christina is an LGBTQIA+ ally and aims to offer a welcoming space for people exploring identity and relationships.
She uses a straightforward, person-focused style in sessions. Christina encourages clients to talk through immediate concerns while looking for practical steps that fit everyday life. She prioritizes listening and building trust so clients can name what matters most to them.
Her work draws on several approaches, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). These approaches guide how she helps people change unhelpful thinking, manage strong emotions, and practice new coping skills. Mindfulness and existential ideas also inform her work when people need help finding meaning and staying present.
Christina has experience supporting people with addictions, ADHD, grief, intimacy-related issues, and bipolar disorder. She also addresses more specific concerns like codependency, attachment and abandonment issues, body image, blended family challenges, and gender dysphoria. Sessions aim to be practical and paced to the client's needs.
Her background includes helping people recover from trauma and navigate life changes. Christina invites clients to take a first step by sharing what they hope to change and working together on realistic goals.
How her approaches guide online care
Christina combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to address common problems like anxiety, depressive symptoms, and difficulties with emotion regulation. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration, helping people feel heard and respected as they name goals. CBT looks at thinking patterns and behavior, and helps people test and try new ways of coping. DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.Finding the right approach is a shared task. Christina will talk with each person about what matters to them, try approaches that fit their goals, and adjust as progress is made. She treats the work as collaborative and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose sessions that match their energy level - for example focusing on skills practice one week and deeper conversation the next. Ask during booking which formats are available and how to schedule sessions that suit your routine.
