About Christina

Christina Kodjiku is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 24 years of experience.

She centers sessions on a strong working relationship and a client-centered style. Christina uses conversational methods that focus on strengths and realistic goals.

Background and approach

She often blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with motivational interviewing to help people make changes that stick. Her background includes work with trauma, substance-use concerns, and family conflict. She also has experience with readjustment counseling for veterans and with people experiencing homelessness.

That range helps her tailor strategies for stressful or complicated life situations. Christina helps with common concerns like anxiety, depression, parenting stress, grief, and relationship strain. She also supports people facing career transitions, compassion fatigue, and difficulties with sleep or self-esteem.

Her approach aims to make problems feel more manageable through step-by-step plans. In sessions she listens for what matters most and focuses on small, practical changes. Christina partners with clients to set goals and track progress.

She encourages people to use what they learn between meetings so daily life improves over time.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety, depression, or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems. It often uses concrete exercises and homework to build new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will listen to your goals, try different techniques, and collaborate on what feels most useful. That means sessions can change over time as needs and priorities shift, and you and the therapist decide together which methods to use.

The therapist's biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during shorter breaks. Others prefer longer appointments for deeper work. Talk with the therapist about what works for your schedule and daily life so sessions are practical and sustainable.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
