About Christina

Christina Janiszeski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people rebuild confidence and manage life stressors like anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. Christina uses a straightforward, human approach so conversations feel grounded and practical.

She offers support for a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, anger, addictions, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and self esteem. Christina also helps people cope with major life changes, career stress, caregiving and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to clarify goals and build everyday skills that make a difference between visits.

Christina blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral thinking and mindfulness strategies. She draws on motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. Existential ideas are used to help people name values and find meaning during hard times.

Her style is practical and collaborative. Conversations often include problem-solving, short experiments to try between sessions, and ways to reduce overwhelm in daily life. Christina encourages honest, down-to-earth discussion about setbacks and progress.

Christina holds LPC credentials and practices from Minnesota. She aims to create a steady, supportive space where people can talk through difficult feelings and build stronger self-regard. If someone wants clear steps and steady support, she focuses sessions on real-world changes that fit daily life.

How Christina Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online

Christina commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the person, helping them set goals and find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying small behavior changes that reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christina works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape session focus, homework, and short-term objectives.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit time for sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in during a break at work or between commitments. It can also support gradual use of mindfulness or CBT exercises at home when practicing new skills. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques used in person to an online setting, and Christina focuses on making sessions practical and useful for everyday life.
