About Christina
Christina Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy for stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Christina works in a collaborative way and respects each person’s knowledge of their own life.
She emphasizes strengths and small, doable steps toward feeling better. Her work often addresses family and parenting-related concerns alongside other struggles. She helps people talk through communication problems, attachment concerns, and ongoing family conflict.
Background and approach
Christina also supports those coping with caregiver stress, grief, guilt, and shame. Christina brings experience with trauma and post-traumatic stress and uses approaches that draw on evidence and real-world results. She also has experience supporting people with intellectual disability and autism spectrum traits, helping them and their families find clearer routines and better communication.
Sessions typically focus on concrete skills, clearer communication, and small changes that add up. Christina invites clients to notice strengths they already have and to try practical steps between sessions. The process is paced to match what each person or family can handle.
To begin, a straightforward sign-up and matching process connects someone to Christina. From there she works with each person to set goals and choose approaches that fit their situation.
Evidence-based approaches you can use online
Christina works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real problems and clear skills. One common approach she uses teaches practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. These methods help people reduce intense reactions and manage daily stressors more predictably.She also applies trauma-informed practices to help people process difficult memories and rebuild safety in relationships. This involves pacing the work to the person's comfort, naming what happened, and building tools for emotional regulation. For family-related concerns she emphasizes communication and problem-solving techniques that help reduce conflict and improve day-to-day interactions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will discuss different options, listen to goals and preferences, and adapt methods to fit each person or family's needs. She partners with clients to try approaches and adjust what isn’t working.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy families and caregivers. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions suit those on the go, and live chat or text-based messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These formats provide flexibility and make it easier to maintain steady progress over time.
