About Christina
Christina Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and family concerns. Christina also addresses guilt and shame alongside related struggles like abandonment, isolation, and problems with impulsivity.
Christina frames clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. She aims to help people sort through difficult feelings and make steady changes they can use day to day.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are used to develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. When motivation is low, she uses Motivational Interviewing techniques to clarify goals and encourage small shifts.
Christina also brings Trauma-Focused Therapy tools when past hurts are interfering with current life. She helps people name painful memories and learn ways to feel safer in their daily routines. Solution-Focused Therapy appears in sessions when people want short-term strategies and clear steps to try between meetings.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. She helps people break down large problems into doable actions. If guilt or shame is keeping someone stuck, she works with those feelings directly and alongside the other concerns the person brings.
How her approaches translate to online work
Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thoughts and habits that fuel guilt, anxiety, or low mood. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and short homework tasks to try between meetings.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention skills and reduce reactivity to painful memories or shame. Mindfulness practices in sessions can be brief and repeated to help with grounding and noticing unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion guides whether sessions focus more on skills practice, trauma processing, or brief solution steps.
