About Christina

Christina Ashby greets people with a calm, practical approach to the problems that bring them to therapy. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, addiction, trauma, grief, self-esteem, and work or career strain. Christina is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - with 12 years of experience and practices from Texas.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and practical steps clients can use between meetings.

Background and approach

She listens for each person's goals and brings in spiritual beliefs when clients want that included in care. Christina uses methods that teach skills and change patterns. She can work on thinking habits, emotional regulation, mindful awareness, and communication in relationships.

For couples or partners she draws on relationship-focused models to improve connection and reduce conflict. She often asks about family history, past diagnoses, medications, trauma, and current supports so sessions start with a clear picture. That helps shape realistic goals and short-term plans clients can try right away.

Christina aims to meet people where they are and helps them build on what already works. She supports people through messy, difficult periods and practical life changes. Her approach blends skill teaching, compassion, and attention to each person’s values.

Background and approach: Christina has spent a dozen years practicing in clinical and ministry settings. Her work combines cognitive and behavioral tools, mindfulness, and relational methods to address mood problems, addictions, intimacy issues, and stress related to work or family. She frames therapy as a team effort and encourages small, achievable steps toward change.

Approaches Christina names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Online approaches that teach skills and improve relationships

Christina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new, testable behaviors that reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is practical and oriented toward clear steps to change thinking patterns and daily routines.

She also draws on the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy for work on communication and closeness. These approaches focus on concrete tools couples can use to manage conflict, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christina partners with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and daily life. She adapts techniques as progress is made so therapy stays focused and relevant.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and relationship work. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick updates, coaching between sessions, and flexible communication during the week.
