About Christina
Christina Dolese is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Louisiana. She brings four years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and major life changes. Christina focuses on practical skills like improving communication, building self-compassion, and coping with overwhelm.
She uses clear, straightforward guidance rather than clinical jargon. In sessions she aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through painful feelings. Christina listens for each person’s strengths and helps them set small, doable goals.
Background and approach
She teaches simple tools for handling anger, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles. Her background includes training in Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, so she balances listening with structured skill-building. She also draws on mindfulness and narrative approaches to help people notice thoughts and rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit for supporting change when someone feels stuck. Christina frames therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each person to pick approaches that match their needs and pace.
Sessions aim to leave people with clear next steps they can try between meetings. Parents reading this will find direct, easy-to-understand support for stress and parenting challenges. The focus is on useful strategies, real-world problem solving, and steady emotional support.
Christina offers services online through multiple formats to fit different schedules and preferences.
How Christina’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and support while helping them identify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches straightforward skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing daily stress.Christina treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and comfort. That collaborative process helps make sure sessions feel relevant and doable.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work between meetings. The practical flexibility lets people try different ways of connecting while still working on skills, communication, and coping strategies.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
