About Christina

Christina Burden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with twenty years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people through depression, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions. Christina aims to create a calm space where clients can say what matters and begin to find clearer ways forward.

Christina uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She helps people develop emotion regulation skills, improve communication, and manage mood swings. She listens closely to each person’s story and works with them to set achievable goals.

Her work includes support around relationship challenges, workplace stress, and coping with illness or caregiving demands. Christina also addresses concerns tied to abandonment, adoption and foster care, body image, and blended family issues. She brings two decades of experience to these topics while keeping the focus on each person’s needs.

Christina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to what a client finds most useful. She places importance on self-acceptance and practical skills people can use between sessions. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Christina offers therapy in English from her Texas practice. People who are navigating complicated feelings or life changes can expect collaborative, down-to-earth support that emphasizes building resilience and clearer coping strategies over time.

How Christina Uses Evidence-Based Work Online

Christina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage mood, relationships, and major life changes. One approach she uses focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns so mood and behavior can shift in practical ways. This method helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching clear steps to reframe thoughts and try new behaviors.

She also uses narrative-style work that invites people to tell their story and look at how life experiences shape current feelings. Rewriting parts of that story can help people find new meaning and move past stuck patterns, which is useful for grief, identity questions, and adjustment after big changes.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Christina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they’ll tailor methods and track progress so therapy stays focused and practical.

If you want online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online care easier to fit into a busy week, allows shorter check-ins on tough days, and can reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, skill practice, and communication work for remote sessions to keep momentum between appointments.
