About Christina
Christina Willis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oklahoma with five years of experience. She focuses on concerns such as depression, addiction, grief, stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes, and lists additional focus areas like codependency and attachment issues.
Christina uses straightforward methods in sessions. She listens to what matters most to the person and helps name patterns that get in the way. Then she works with practical steps clients can try between sessions to test change and build new habits.
Her background includes a mix of client-centered work and structured techniques. That means sessions may include open conversation about feelings alongside concrete exercises to change thoughts and behaviors. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help deciding what to change and finding their own reasons to do it.
People who see Christina often bring problems tied to relationships, substances, or life transitions. She helps people clarify where they feel stuck and set clear next steps. Sessions are focused on small, manageable practices that can reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.
Christina pays attention to how attachment patterns and communication problems affect choices. She also addresses concerns like body image, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. The work aims to increase the person’s sense of control over decisions and actions.
How sessions work
How Christina uses evidence-based approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can find their own priorities and solutions. It helps people who feel lost in relationships or unsure how to set boundaries by centering their experience and goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for symptoms of anxiety, depression, and for breaking cycles of people-pleasing or avoidance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative and can change as goals shift over time.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on tougher days, or remove travel time so a session fits during a lunch break. Discussing format options upfront helps make sessions practical for everyday life.
