About Christina

Christina Wynkoop is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 15 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mood and behavioral issues. Christina aims to make therapy practical and straightforward for people juggling busy home lives.

Her approach emphasizes clear, direct conversation and steady support. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change day-to-day patterns. She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past events are getting in the way of current family life.

Background and approach

Christina values a warm, respectful tone and works to meet people where they are. She encourages clients to weigh options and make choices that fit their families. Sessions tend to focus on what can be changed now, and small steps that add up over time.

Parents often come to her for help with stress, parenting questions, blended family challenges, adoption or foster care concerns, and communication problems inside the home. She also addresses mood disorders, anger, grief, and the ripple effects of trauma. In sessions Christina aims to build practical skills for coping and problem solving.

She listens for strengths in each family and helps people use those strengths to move forward. The work typically combines talking through problems with concrete strategies to try between meetings.

Approaches and online options for family-focused care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people feel heard. It emphasizes the client's own goals and strengths, which can be useful when families need a respectful space to talk about challenges.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change everyday patterns. This approach is often used to address anxiety, depression, anger, and habits that affect family life by teaching practical skills to try between sessions.

Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on how past events affect current feelings and relationships. It provides ways to process difficult memories and reduce their impact on daily routines and parenting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let families see and speak with the therapist in real time, while phone sessions can be easier when schedules are tight. Live chat and text-based messaging provide options for brief check-ins or more frequent support. These formats can make it simpler to fit therapy into busy family life and keep momentum between meetings.

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.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
