About Christina
Christina Willis is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Oklahoma with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on addictions, depression, grief, anxiety, stress, and the strains that come with family and parenting concerns. Christina works with adults who are managing life transitions or feeling stuck by old patterns.
Her style is straightforward and client-centered. She listens first, then helps people set small, practical goals. Christina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and on Motivational Interviewing when someone is ready to change habits related to substance use.
Sessions often focus on communication problems, codependency, and attachment-related issues that affect day-to-day relationships. She also addresses body image, guilt and shame, loneliness, and the practical fallout of midlife or other major life changes. Christina uses Solution-Focused Therapy to break problems into manageable steps and to highlight what is already working.
People can expect clear, workable tools rather than abstract theory. Christina helps clients build routines, practice new communication skills, and set realistic steps toward goals. She combines short-term problem-solving with attention to emotions that come up along the way.
Her work includes supporting those dealing with drug and alcohol addiction and impulsivity, always with a focus on what the client wants to change. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect five years of hands-on practice in Oklahoma.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client’s lead and prioritize concerns that feel most urgent. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT work online often includes homework like tracking thoughts, trying brief behavior experiments, and practicing new skills between sessions. Motivational Interviewing helps people notice and strengthen their own reasons for change. In remote sessions this looks like asking clear, open questions and helping clients weigh pros and cons before planning next steps.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try an approach, and adjust if something isn’t helping. That way the way you work together can shift as needs change.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports work on practical skills like communication practice, behavioral experiments, and planning recovery steps in everyday life.
