About Christina

Christina Gower is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, attention challenges like ADHD, and a range of concerns including grief, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem struggles, and issues related to LGBT identity and caregiving. She also addresses complex relational and personality concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and first responder or caregiver stress.

Her approach is warm, interactive, and non-judgmental, and she tailors treatment to each person's needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model. Christina draws on evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered techniques, and mindfulness practices to help clients build coping skills, clarify values, and manage symptoms in daily life.

She has experience working with both acute stress and longer-term, persistent mental health challenges, and she frames therapy as a collaborative process that respects each individual's strengths and goals. Services are offered through a variety of remote formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different preferences and life circumstances.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Evidence-Informed Methods

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to support people experiencing intense emotions or relationship challenges.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina collaborates with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps shape a tailored plan that evolves as progress is made.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints to connect with licensed professionals and therapists who can provide consistent, ongoing support.
