About Christina

Christina Cartagena is a Licensed Professional Counselor who supports people working through depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns. She focuses on practical, evidence-based strategies while maintaining a compassionate, collaborative stance. As an LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, she combines clinical training with an empathetic approach to help clients increase self-understanding and build healthier coping skills.

Christina has particular experience supporting young adults and women, and she often works with individuals facing social anxiety, isolation, and relationship challenges. She uses a blend of approaches to address issues such as panic attacks, attachment difficulties, workplace stress, and family dynamics, tailoring support to each person’s circumstances and goals.

Her practice centers on helping people heal from past experiences, strengthen meaningful connections, and develop resilience for life’s transitions. Christina aims to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore growth, practice new skills, and move toward more satisfying relationships with themselves and others.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding how early relationships shape current connection patterns. It helps people explore attachment needs and rebuild safer ways of relating when past experiences contribute to isolation, trust issues, or difficulty with intimacy. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experiences, offering empathy and acceptance as the foundation for change - it supports self-exploration, self-worth, and decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing panic or stress.

Christina works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She guides the process rather than prescribing a single path, adjusting techniques as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and those who prefer not to travel for appointments. These options make it easier to receive regular support from licensed professionals and allow therapy to fit into varied lifestyles while maintaining continuity of care.
