About Christina

Christina Medis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. She focuses on relationship, family, and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. She also addresses intimacy, anger, career questions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at helping people find practical steps they can use day to day. Christina keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, achievable steps.

Background and approach

Her manner is compassionate and nonjudgmental while still encouraging honest work and change. Christina draws on a range of methods and adjusts them to each person’s needs. With nine years of clinical experience she has worked across many relationship and life-stage difficulties.

She often combines client-centered work with solution-focused strategies and internal family systems ideas when relevant. She describes therapy as collaborative and focuses on what clients want to accomplish. Practical problem solving is a common thread in her approach.

Christina helps people identify patterns, try small changes, and build skills that improve daily life. She supports clients who are navigating separation, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, attachment or abandonment worries, and fertility or fatherhood issues. Sessions can include conversation, mindfulness practice, and interventions adapted to each situation.

Christina aims to make therapy feel doable for busy lives and to help clients leave sessions with clear next steps.

Approaches that translate well online

Client-centered therapy puts the client's perspective first and focuses on listening, understanding, and supporting each person's goals. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk through relationship or parenting concerns.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them. It can help with anxiety, stress, grief, and staying regulated during difficult family conversations.

Solution-focused therapy centers on small, concrete steps and short-term goals. It is useful when clients want practical changes fast, such as improving communication or managing caregiving stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Christina will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adapts techniques based on what is working and what is not.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, continue work during life transitions, or check in between appointments. The variety of formats helps people stay engaged and practice new skills in their everyday settings.

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.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
