About Christina

Christina Miller is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Alabama with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family and parenting issues, and a wide range of other difficulties people bring to therapy.

She works with individual adults who are dealing with depression, addiction concerns, trauma and grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, and the effects of life changes. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and fatherhood concerns.

In sessions Christina uses practical, goal-oriented methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. She uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe personal stories and Solution-Focused techniques to set small, achievable goals.

Christina also uses elements of the Gottman Method for relationship communication and Internal Family Systems ideas to look at internal parts and their roles. Her style is collaborative: she works with each person to develop plans and strategies that fit their life and priorities.

She has provided care in different settings, including in-office, by telephone, and online. Prospective clients who want to begin would choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Christina integrates approaches in online sessions

Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to small, practical steps and short-term goals to create momentum and clearer next actions.

She also draws on the Gottman Method to address communication issues and relationship patterns, and on Narrative Therapy ideas to reframe personal stories when that feels useful. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before to choose a direction together.

The biography indicates Christina has provided online and telephone sessions in the past. Confirm the exact session options available before booking so you know what format will be used. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The therapist will discuss what works best for your schedule and goals during the initial steps.
