About Christina

Christina Stuckey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of clinical experience based in Indiana. She helps people who are carrying heavy feelings such as guilt and shame, anxiety, depression, and stress. Christina also supports concerns around relationships, trauma, grief, ADHD, and life transitions.

Christina trained in psychology at Purdue University and completed her Master of Social Work at Loyola University Chicago. Her background includes individual and group therapy in hospitals and outpatient settings, and she has also worked with clients virtually. That mix of settings informs a practical approach to everyday problems.

In sessions she treats the client as the expert and invites feedback about what is or is not working. Conversations focus on identifying goals and the barriers that get in the way. Christina uses clear, direct questions and reflections to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping.

She draws from several therapeutic approaches, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. Those methods are used to address thinking patterns, unhelpful behaviors, emotional avoidance, and relationships with self and others.

Christina aims to help people find practical steps they can use between sessions. She encourages straightforward communication about progress and adjustments. If a client has questions about methods or how sessions run, she invites them to bring those up early so the plan can be adjusted.

How her approaches translate to online work

Christina uses client-centered work to focus conversations on what matters most to each person, listening closely and adapting sessions based on feedback. That approach helps when guilt or shame feels personal and hard to name, because clients guide which topics get more attention.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep distress active. CBT offers clear, practical exercises to try between sessions for issues like anxiety, panic, and difficult thinking patterns. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside CBT to build awareness of emotions and reduce reactivity through simple attention practices that can be applied day to day.

Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Christina will work with clients to pick approaches that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as the work progresses.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that match a person’s routine. Therapists and licensed professionals generally aim to make sessions practical and usable within day-to-day life.
