About Christina
Christina Macnamara is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 29 years of practice. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed by change, loss, illness, or difficult choices. Christina writes in plain terms and focuses on helping people move forward when life feels stuck.
She frames therapy as a partnership. Sessions start by listening to what matters most, and then setting clear, manageable goals together. Christina uses a client-centered style that keeps the person's priorities at the center of each conversation.
Her approach leans on practical, solution-focused techniques and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address problems like anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try steps that change daily patterns. Motivational Interviewing also guides conversations when someone is unsure about making a change.
Christina has worked across many issues over nearly three decades. That includes parenting strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness, abandonment concerns, attachment issues, and adoption and foster care matters. Her background supports people managing both sudden crises and long-term challenges.
Sessions are guided by what each person needs at the time. Christina aims to create clear next steps, teach practical coping skills, and help clients evaluate choices. She welcomes questions and focuses on straightforward progress rather than clinical jargon.
How her approaches translate to online work
Christina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on values-based action, which can ease avoidance and build steady steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical experiments to change daily patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. She adjusts pacing and exercises so the work feels manageable and relevant to real life.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session options when booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy day. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to keep a routine while working on coping skills and decision making.
