About Christina
Christina Harrison helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She offers a calm presence and straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by big life changes or ongoing struggles. Christina is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in California and brings nearly a decade of experience to her work.
In sessions she aims to make it easy to talk about hard things.
Background and approach
She creates an open space where clients can name their worries and try small, doable steps toward change. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and what can be changed in day-to-day life. Her approach draws on attachment-informed ideas, client-centered listening, and practical techniques from cognitive behavioral work.
She also uses mindfulness practices and EMDR when appropriate to address traumatic memories and strong emotional reactions. Christina began in addiction services and worked for several years as a paraprofessional before becoming a licensed social worker. That background shaped her attention to clear goals and motivation to change.
She balances empathy with tools that help people manage symptoms and improve relationships. Clients who meet with her can expect collaborative planning, gentle challenge, and concrete skills to try between sessions. The pace and focus are adjusted to each person’s needs and priorities.

Online support
How attachment work and CBT translate to online care
Christina commonly uses attachment-informed work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns and help people notice and change repeating habits in relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression.She also integrates client-centered listening and mindfulness practices to help people stay present and regulate emotions. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which approach to try first. Together they review goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while still using the same therapeutic approaches used in person.
