About Christina
Christina Oxley is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois. She blends practical support with respect for each person’s knowledge of their own life. Christina aims to make sessions feel approachable and calm so parents and adults can talk through stress, parenting challenges, relationships, mood concerns, and substance use without feeling judged.
She draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques rather than a single method. Christina emphasizes collaboration, helping clients set goals and try steps that fit their daily life.
Background and approach
Her approach considers how thoughts, body sensations, relationships, and environment interact to affect wellbeing. Christina has three years of clinical experience providing direct mental health services. That experience has included work around anxiety, attention differences like ADHD, depression, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, eating issues, intimacy and relationship struggles, and coping with life changes.
In sessions she invites clear, practical conversations about what is getting in the way and what small changes might help. She uses straightforward tools and checks in with clients to see what’s working. Her aim is to help people build coping skills, improve relationships, and feel more confident in day-to-day parenting and life decisions.
Christina offers online formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. She explains the steps to begin therapy, helps match clients to appropriate options, and supports them as they try new strategies between sessions.
Evidence-based approaches and online support
Christina uses a few proven therapeutic techniques in clear, practical ways. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new, more balanced ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps people spot patterns that make stress and worry worse and test small changes that feel manageable.Another common approach she uses centers on building concrete coping skills - such as steady routines, problem-solving steps, and emotion regulation strategies. These tools aim to improve day-to-day functioning, support recovery from substance use concerns, and make parenting tasks more manageable.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Christina works with each person to figure out which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts plans as progress is made. The therapist treats the client as the expert on their life while offering guidance and practical next steps.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, stay in touch between appointments, and try different ways of communicating to suit comfort and needs.
