Christina Brown is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with four years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel stuck by focusing on practical steps to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and build self-esteem. Her style is warm and direct, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is nervous about starting therapy.
Christina works with people facing depression, career concerns, and major life changes. She also addresses relationship patterns such as attachment and codependency, plus issues like body image and blended family stress. Conversations are shaped around each person's goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
In sessions she uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and next steps. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are included when they help with emotion regulation and staying present. The focus is on tools that can be tried between sessions.
Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then suggests practical techniques to test in daily life. Christina adapts the pace and content based on what someone needs that week. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and an honest, straightforward dialogue.
To begin, she asks people to describe their current concerns and goals so the pair can build a clear plan. That plan is revisited as progress is made or new challenges arise.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what truly matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values, which can ease low self-esteem and help with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and work-related stress. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build awareness, which can support emotion regulation and calm.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit those needs. The plan is revisited as things change so the approach stays useful and practical.
Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and offer options that match how someone prefers to connect. For example, some people opt for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or choose audio-only conversations when they do not want to be on camera. The focus is on making therapy workable for everyday life while using the approaches above to guide change.
She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career challenges, depression, and coping with life changes. Additional focuses include attachment issues, body image, codependency, and family of origin problems.
