About Christina

Christina Hahn is a licensed social worker in South Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns along with common struggles like anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. Christina works with adolescents, young adults, and adults, offering straightforward support when life feels overwhelming.

She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation. Sessions are tailored to each person’s situation rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Background and approach

That can mean practical skills for coping, tools to manage mood, or ways to improve everyday communication. Christina uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also draws on client-centered approaches to make sure each person feels heard and involved in choices about treatment.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used when clients want to build motivation or focus on concrete steps forward. Typical concerns she supports include parenting stress, family challenges, grief, career-related stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. She also addresses issues tied to adoption and foster care, attachment, blended family dynamics, and caregiver strain.

Sessions can involve short-term goals like problem-solving and longer efforts such as rebuilding self-esteem. Christina aims to create a practical plan that fits daily life and helps people move toward clearer coping and healthier relationships.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship so clients feel heard and can make their own choices. In online work this often means sessions that start with where the client is now and adapt pacing and goals to fit their life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and try new, practical strategies. Online CBT typically includes talking through examples, assigning small practice tasks between sessions, and checking progress together.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change as work progresses and new priorities emerge.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. These options let people meet from home, use shorter check-ins when useful, and pick the style of communication that works best for them.

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.

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.
