Christina Janiszeski , LPC

Christina Janiszeski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Minnesota with 10 years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University and brings a grounded, compassionate perspective to supporting people facing mental health challenges and substance-related concerns.

Her work centers on helping individuals navigate depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, low self-esteem, addictions, and relationship or family difficulties. Christina also supports clients dealing with stress, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and a range of attachment, communication, and life-change issues.

Christina favors a holistic, person-centered approach that honors each individual story. She blends client-centered listening with solution-focused and humanistic perspectives, alongside cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify patterns and develop practical skills. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness-informed strategies are used as appropriate to build insight and momentum for change.

She recognizes that reaching out for help can be difficult and commends those who take that step. Christina aims to create a respectful, collaborative space where clients can explore challenges, identify goals, and develop tools to move forward on their terms.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christina integrates client-centered therapy by prioritizing the individual’s perspective and building a supportive therapeutic relationship that helps people explore values, strengths, and goals. This approach is helpful for those seeking a respectful, empathetic space to process life challenges.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and habit-related concerns.

Motivational interviewing is incorporated when clients are exploring change or managing addictive patterns. This collaborative, nonjudgmental style helps increase motivation and clarify personal reasons for change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christina works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from where the client is located.
