About Christina
Christina Anderson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience in mental health and addictions. She frames therapy as a supportive conversation that helps parents and individuals meet real needs. Christina aims for clear, practical work that fits busy family life.
She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help people manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy guide goal-setting around substance use and behavior change.
Background and approach
She also draws on Jungian ideas when exploring deeper patterns and life meaning. Christina has worked in community settings, schools, hospitals, and with crisis response teams and EMS. That background shaped her ability to handle urgent concerns and long-term recovery work.
She has experience with ages ranging from young children through older adults and with issues such as addiction, trauma, grief, and parenting challenges. In sessions she focuses on what’s practical and doable. That might mean building routines for sleep and eating, setting limits around substance use, or finding small steps to reduce anger and overwhelm.
She aims to tailor the work to each person’s life and values. Christina practices in Indiana and offers multiple ways to meet, including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. The subscription-based sessions can be canceled at any time and scheduling follows the therapist’s availability.

How Christina’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward them while learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood; this approach supports people who need a steady, nonjudgmental space to work through grief, relationship concerns, or identity questions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She will adjust methods over time so the work stays relevant and manageable for the client and family life demands.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make fitting therapy into a busy schedule easier. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions are often simpler when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or follow-up between sessions. These formats give flexibility for people balancing work, parenting, or recovery commitments.
