About Christina

Christina Miller is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and aims to create a practical space where a person can address day-to-day problems and make workable changes.

Her first goal is to listen carefully and help clients find clear steps they can try between sessions. Christina has practiced in Alabama for 20 years as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT.

Background and approach

She draws on simple, evidence-informed techniques to address depression, grief, trauma, substance concerns, attention differences, and struggles with sleep and eating. She also works on intimacy, communication, self-worth, and recovery from infidelity. Her approach blends short-term tools and deeper narrative work.

Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She uses Solution-Focused ideas to set small, concrete goals and track progress. The Gottman Method informs her work on communication and relationship interactions, and Narrative Therapy helps people reframe difficult stories about themselves.

Sessions can be by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, and Christina will help clients choose which format fits their life. She aims to build clear plans together and to help people practice new skills between visits. Small steps and steady support are central to her style.

Christina invites anyone looking for practical, compassionate help to start by sharing what feels most urgent. She collaborates on a plan tailored to each person’s needs and pace.

Online approaches for practical change and clearer communication

Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and shifting daily habits.

She also uses the Gottman Method to improve how partners talk and solve problems. That approach focuses on specific communication skills and patterns that can reduce conflict and increase connection.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. She will listen to goals and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy with Christina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. These options make it easier to keep regular sessions, try brief check-ins, or continue work between in-person visits. The aim is to make therapy more accessible and flexible so clients can practice new skills in real life.

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.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
