About Christina

Christina Stuckey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. She keeps sessions focused on practical goals and invites clients to share what helps and what does not. Christina speaks plainly and listens carefully so people can talk through worries and small victories alike.

She trained in psychology at Purdue University and earned a Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago. Over the past 10 years she has offered both individual and group therapy in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and online.

Background and approach

That range of settings has shaped a flexible, down-to-earth style. Christina brings several therapy methods into sessions, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. She uses tools from these approaches to address stress, anxiety, depression, and trouble with self-esteem.

She also helps people facing life changes, grief, trauma, and relationship or family strain. In practice she helps clients spot barriers, set clear goals, and try small steps toward change. She invites feedback throughout the process and adjusts plans based on what actually works.

Christina describes therapy as a teamwork effort where the client’s priorities guide the work. Located in Indiana, Christina offers care to English-speaking clients. She combines professional training with a calm, practical manner to support people dealing with everyday pressures and longer-term concerns.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns back, and helps clarify goals to guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple practices that can ease stress and improve sleep and focus.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on real progress and feedback.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy family or work schedule and to use brief check-ins or longer conversations as needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote formats, helping people practice skills between sessions.

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.

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.
