About Christina

Christina Brown is a Washington LMHC with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career difficulties, depression, and major life changes. Christina also supports people facing issues around abandonment, attachment, codependency, communication, and family-origin concerns.

Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to ground attention and reduce reactivity in tense moments.

Christina draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take committed steps toward what matters to them. Client-Centered Therapy informs the way she listens and responds, keeping the conversation focused on each person's priorities and concerns. She adapts techniques to fit real-life problems rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Expect short, clear explanations of coping skills and specific exercises to try between sessions. Sessions often include practicing communication strategies and boundary-setting language for situations that feel overwhelming. Christina pays attention to practical barriers people face and works with them to find manageable steps forward.

She asks about what has and hasn’t worked before, and adjusts approaches when needed. People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or feeling defined by others often come away with clearer choices and small, sustainable changes they can use day to day.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. It focuses on actions and choices rather than trying to remove every uncomfortable feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches concrete techniques to change them. Mindfulness therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus in stressful moments.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try techniques in session, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which mix of skills and reflections fits day-to-day life.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or meetings that avoid travel time. It can also allow practice of skills in the same kinds of settings where problems occur, and make it simpler to keep appointments around work or caregiving demands.
