About Christina
Christina Willis is a licensed clinical social worker who uses compassionate, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She frames therapy around the person in front of her, focusing on what feels feasible right now. Her tone is direct and supportive, aimed at parents and adults looking for clear steps forward.
Christina keeps sessions straightforward. She helps identify patterns that get in the way, teaches tools to change those patterns, and works with clients to set realistic goals.
Background and approach
Treatment draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to break down problems into workable parts. Her practice addresses many common struggles, including grief, coping with life changes, relationship difficulties, and issues tied to control or codependency. Christina also addresses body image concerns, feelings of emptiness, and problems with impulsivity and isolation.
She integrates problem-solving and short-term strategies when a faster focus is helpful. With five years of experience as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - she brings practical experience from clinical work in Oklahoma. Sessions move at a steady pace and focus on skill building that parents and busy adults can use between meetings.
Christina aims to help people rebuild routines, improve communication, and find clearer direction. She emphasizes collaboration and steady progress so changes can stick in everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting space where clients lead the pace and topics of sessions. It helps people feel heard and figure out what matters most to them.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks down difficult thoughts and behaviors into smaller parts and teaches practical skills to change them. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Motivational interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons to change and strengthen their commitment. It can be especially helpful for substance use and other behavior change goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging gives flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats let people continue momentum between appointments and make it easier to fit therapy into daily life.
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.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
