About Christina
Christina Manolatos is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on providing steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and related concerns. She brings ten years of clinical experience and aims to create a calm space where someone can be heard and make sense of difficult feelings.
Christina speaks English and Greek and sees clients from Wisconsin as well as international clients. Her style is warm and direct.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and practical. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behavior. That includes work on relationship problems, addictive patterns, sleep or eating troubles, and compassion fatigue.
Christina trained in counseling psychology and psychotherapy and uses a mix of approaches that fit each person. She draws on client-centered and existential ideas to honor individual meaning, and she blends mindfulness and hypnotherapy tools when they suit the work. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques also appear when a client wants clearer steps or change planning.
She has experience in a range of settings including hospitals and colleges and has worked with people in crisis and those coping with life transitions. In sessions she keeps language simple, focuses on what matters most to the client, and helps outline achievable next steps.
People who prefer straightforward, compassionate conversation and practical skills for managing mood, relationships, parenting stress, or substance concerns may find her approach helpful. She supports clients in figuring out what to try and then adjusts methods as needed.
How Christina’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening closely and following what matters to the client. In practice she reflects back concerns, helps people name their priorities, and supports choices without imposing a plan. This approach is useful when someone needs validation, clarity, or a steady space to make decisions.Mindfulness Therapy focuses on attention and present-moment awareness. She guides simple mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity, improve sleep and manage stress, and to help people notice urges or anxious thoughts before acting on them.
Christina treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. The work is shaped by what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work.
Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care during transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can adapt the chosen methods to each format so practical skills and reflective conversation carry over to online work.
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.
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.
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.
