About Christina

Christina Anderson is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience supporting people through stress, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, and other life changes. She uses straightforward, compassionate conversations to help families and individuals figure out practical next steps. Sessions are aimed at helping people cope, problem-solve, and find clearer direction when life feels overwhelming.

Christina draws on evidence-based methods suited to the problem at hand. She blends acceptance and commitment ideas with client-centered listening and motivational techniques.

Background and approach

That mix helps clients notice what matters most and take small steps toward change. Her background spans many settings, including community programs, schools, hospitals, home visits, crisis response teams, and EMS collaborations. Those experiences shaped a flexible approach to different ages and life stages, and to issues ranging from addiction to post-traumatic stress.

In her Indiana practice she offers both in-person and telehealth care. Sessions use formats such as video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to match different needs and schedules. Christina aims to make therapy feel like a useful conversation that helps families and individuals get their needs met.

She holds a Master’s in Social Work and practices as an LCSW (TX LCSW 116231; IN LCSW 34005924A). For parents juggling busy lives, she focuses on clear, practical steps to reduce stress and improve family functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit family life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps even when emotions are difficult. It is helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where goals feel unclear.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on active listening and empathy so clients feel heard and understood. This approach helps people and parents talk through challenges, build confidence, and decide on realistic changes.

Christina treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She listens to each family's needs and preferences and adjusts methods as work progresses. Together they choose which tools and goals make the most sense for the situation.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, handle sudden needs between sessions, and maintain continuity when travel or work gets in the way. Licensed professionals can use these methods to support progress over time while offering flexibility and more ways to stay connected between appointments.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
