About Christina
Christina Wynkoop is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
Her background includes extended work with people who have histories of trauma and mood challenges. She has experience with adoption and foster care situations, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and domestic violence. She also addresses feelings of abandonment, guilt, shame, emptiness, and isolation.
In sessions she uses a mix of approaches but leans on cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused methods. She also draws on client-centered ideas to keep conversations focused on the person in front of her. That means discussions stay practical and oriented toward what the client wants to change.
Clients can expect straightforward talks about patterns, thoughts, and behaviors. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try different responses, and practice skills between sessions. For parenting-related strain and family problems she will help identify manageable steps and ways to reduce tension at home.
She works in English and practices in Ohio as an LPCC. The therapy model and pacing are adjusted as needs and goals become clearer, so the plan may shift over time.
How sessions work
How Christina’s approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience. It is about listening, reflecting, and helping people name what matters most. This approach works well for adults sorting out family roles, parenting stress, or feelings of emptiness.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related patterns.
Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of past hurt and abuse. It helps people process traumatic memories and learn coping strategies for triggers and intense emotions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, needs, and preferences and collaborate on which methods to try. Plans are adjusted as things progress so the work stays practical and relevant.
