About Christina
Christina Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and related mood challenges. Christina focuses on practical steps people can take to manage symptoms and rebuild day-to-day functioning.
She respects that each person knows their life best, and she draws on clients' own strengths during sessions. Conversations tend to be direct and goal-oriented, with attention to what is most pressing at home. Christina uses clear tools to reduce overwhelming feelings and to help people take manageable next steps.
Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to look at how thoughts, behaviors, and past experiences affect current reactions. Mindfulness techniques are used to slow down intense moments and build steadier responses. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help clarify goals and plan realistic actions between sessions.
Christina often addresses practical family-related issues such as communication difficulties, caregiver stress, feelings of abandonment, and isolation. She also works with concerns like panic attacks, self-harm urges, guilt and shame, and challenges around life purpose.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful, with tools people can apply right away. Her style is collaborative - she helps people choose what to try and checks what works. To begin, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How her methods translate to online sessions
Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, panic attacks, mood problems, and day-to-day reactions to stress. Mindfulness Therapy is also part of her work and offers short techniques to slow down strong emotions and increase awareness in stressful moments.She combines these with Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas to set clear goals and decide practical next steps. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that match those priorities, adjusting over time based on what helps.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy household schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Talk with the therapist when scheduling to choose a session length and rhythm that fits everyday life.
