About Christina
Christina Briggs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience in Mississippi. She provides steady, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or life changes. Her work often includes helping people facing addiction, trauma, or struggles with self-esteem and motivation.
Christina focuses on creating a welcoming space where clients can say what’s on their mind. She aims to listen without judgment and to help clients make clear, manageable steps forward. That approach helps people feel less stuck and more able to try new ways of coping.
In sessions she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness practices are used to help ground clients and reduce reactivity in stressful moments.
Christina has worked with family conflict and issues that touch on abandonment, adoption and foster care, and blended family concerns. She also has experience with chronic pain and illness, codependency, and relationship difficulties tied to separation or divorce. Her background includes addressing substance use and eating-related struggles as well.
Sessions are framed around what each person needs right now. Christina helps set small goals and tracks progress together. She encourages people to take the first step when they are ready to try something different.
How these approaches can work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how people feel. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. It includes techniques for tolerating distress and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Mindfulness therapy centers on present-moment awareness and simple exercises to reduce reactivity. These practices can help when anxiety, stress, or chronic pain make it hard to focus on daily life.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try approaches that fit their needs. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to what the client wants to change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. A straight conversation about scheduling and goals will clarify how sessions can fit into everyday life.
