About Christina
Christina Manolatos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, addiction issues, and problems with sleep or eating. She also addresses attachment and family-of-origin problems, caregiver stress, codependency, anger, dissociation, and intimacy-related struggles.
Christina listens first. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation about what is happening at home and in relationships. She helps people make sense of feelings, notice patterns, and decide on small steps to try between meetings. Many people come with one pressing problem; others bring a mix of longstanding issues. Either way, sessions aim to be straightforward and useful.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods and existential thinking. That means attention to each person’s values, choices, and the meaning behind their distress. She also uses mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to support change and to help with cravings or stuck behaviors. Hypnotherapy is a tool she sometimes uses when it fits the person’s goals.
Christina has worked in hospitals, college settings, with unemployed populations, and in correctional environments. That background informs a practical, down-to-earth style. Conversations are respectful and focused on what the client wants to address now.
She offers sessions in English and Greek and welcomes people from outside the United States. If scheduling or session formats are important, confirm the current options before booking.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. In practice that means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people find clarity about feelings and choices. This approach suits concerns like relationship trouble, self-esteem issues, and family conflict.Existential therapy looks at meaning, values, and how people make choices in difficult circumstances. It helps when someone is struggling with life transitions, emptiness, or questions about commitment and identity. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage cravings or emotional reactivity.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will discuss options and try methods that match the client's goals and preferences. She adjusts the mix of listening, practical exercises, and brief interventions based on what works for the person.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let someone continue work with a licensed professional when relocating or living far from a therapist's office.
