About Christina

Christina Davila uses a client-centered approach combined with practical techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, and life transitions. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - who focuses on building strengths and working alongside clients to set realistic goals. Christina speaks plainly and prioritizes clear steps people can try between sessions.

She has three years of professional experience and works with adults and adolescents on issues like self-esteem, motivation, and coping with mood changes.

Background and approach

Her work also covers parenting concerns, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, and challenges tied to addiction and recovery. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and uses mindfulness skills to help people regulate intense emotions. Christina also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication.

Motivational interviewing is part of her practice when someone is weighing change or feeling stuck. These methods are woven into a supportive, nonjudgmental conversation rather than a rigid protocol. Sessions tend to focus on clear, doable steps and practical coping strategies.

Christina helps people notice patterns, practice new skills, and plan small changes that fit daily life. She emphasizes the client as the expert on their story and works collaboratively toward safer, steadier functioning. Services are provided from Texas and are offered in English.

Christina aims to make the process understandable and approachable for parents and adults seeking steady support and achievable progress.

Approaches and online care that fit busy lives

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on each person's strengths. It helps people feel heard and leads to goals based on what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and daily habits and teaches small experiments to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that get in the way of functioning. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what techniques feel most helpful. That collaborative process guides which methods get used and how quickly to try different tools.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or parenting, and to practice skills in the moments they are needed. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, coach through hard moments, and track progress over time.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
