About Christina
Christina Dolese is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with four years of experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, parenting stress, relationship strain, and feelings of shame or isolation.
She helps people talk through hard moments and day-to-day overwhelm. Sessions focus on developing clearer communication, building coping strategies, and naming the patterns that keep someone stuck. Christina uses straightforward methods rather than jargon-filled explanations.
Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and family of origin issues. She also addresses abandonment and attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and transitions such as divorce or separation.
Christina draws on Client-Centered Therapy to center the person’s own goals. She combines that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools to practice new thoughts and behaviors. Narrative techniques are used to reframe stories people tell about themselves.
In a typical session she listens for what matters most to the client, helps set manageable steps, and checks progress over time. Her style aims to be practical and collaborative, with attention to both immediate coping and longer-term patterns. People who carry guilt or shame about relationships, parenting, or past actions may find it helpful to explore these themes with her.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Christina commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s own goals and priorities, with the therapist listening and reflecting so the client can decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses exercises to practice different reactions to stressors.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice can shift over time as the client notices what helps and what does not.
