About Christina

Christina Salameh is a licensed professional clinical counselor, LPCC, practicing in Ohio with four years of clinical experience. She holds a master’s degree in clinical counseling from John Carroll University. Christina greets families and individuals with a straightforward, calm approach aimed at real-life concerns like anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and parenting challenges.

She keeps sessions warm and client-focused. Christina listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals. She uses practical tools and simple steps so people can try changes between sessions.

Background and approach

Christina draws on several therapy methods to match each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts. She includes acceptance and commitment ideas to help people move toward what matters to them.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help people find workable next steps. Her experience includes working with trauma and abuse, relationship and communication problems, and life transitions like career questions or parenting adjustments. Additional areas she addresses include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, body image, and aging concerns.

Christina aims to build a collaborative plan with clear goals and steps. She encourages small, steady changes and practical skills that fit daily life. Parents and caregivers often appreciate the plainspoken guidance and focus on usable strategies.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, chat, or text messaging. Christina follows Ohio licensing standards under OH LPCC E.2102168.

Therapy approaches that translate well online

Christina uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy as core tools in her online practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small experiments to change them. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and mood challenges by giving clear skills to practice.

Acceptance and commitment therapy, or ACT, helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It emphasizes values and small actions that move a person toward the life they want, which can be useful for parenting stress, life transitions, and self-esteem work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will talk with each person or parent about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She adjusts techniques based on feedback so treatment stays practical and focused on daily life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. These formats make it easier to connect from home, manage parenting logistics, or fit sessions into a busy week. Christina aims to make therapy flexible and usable so parents and individuals can try tools between meetings and track progress over time.

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.
