About Christina

Dr. Christina Jurekovic is a licensed professional counselor who uses a person-centered approach to help people manage stress and major life changes. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand each person’s story.

Sessions focus on practical steps that can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Parents and caregivers often seek her out for guidance around parenting and family concerns. Christina has worked in counseling since 2014.

Her background includes roles as a school counselor and as a professor of clinical mental health counseling.

Background and approach

Those different settings shaped how she approaches problems - with compassion and with strategies that people can try between sessions. Her work combines client-centered listening with methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness when useful. She also draws on motivational interviewing and existential ideas to help people clarify values and goals.

The tools chosen depend on what feels right for each person. In a typical session she helps clients notice patterns, set small achievable goals, and develop skills for coping with grief, relationship strain, or career stress. She also addresses areas like trauma, ADHD, and caregiver stress with practical techniques and steady support.

Christina practices in Colorado as an LPC. She aims to build resilience so people can move forward with more confidence and clarity.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own answers. It is useful when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to talk through feelings and make decisions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. It often includes simple exercises and steps people can practice between sessions.

Mindfulness therapy helps people notice what is happening in the present moment without getting swept away by it. This approach can reduce reactivity and improve coping with grief, chronic stress, and caregiving demands.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before to choose methods that feel like a good fit. Adjustments are made over time so the plan matches changing needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people have a full conversation from home, while phone sessions provide an audio-only option. Live chat and text-based messaging can work for shorter check-ins or when scheduling is tight. These formats make it easier to fit regular care into a busy life while still using the therapeutic approaches outlined above.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
