About Christina
Christina Davila is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on practical, person-focused care. She listens first and helps people find what works for them. Her style aims to reduce stress and improve daily functioning for adults and adolescents.
She commonly supports people dealing with anxiety, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and challenges with sleep or eating. Addictions, anger, and motivation concerns are part of her regular work.
Background and approach
Parenting topics and relationship stress also come up often in sessions. Christina uses straightforward, evidence-based methods. She draws on client-centered work to center each person’s goals, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and actions, and mindfulness practices to build calm and focus.
Motivational interviewing is used when people are deciding whether to change habits like substance use. Her approach favors short, clear steps that fit everyday life. Sessions often include skill practice, small experiments between meetings, and check-ins about progress.
She treats trauma, grief, and co-occurring conditions with attention to safety and pacing. Christina has three years of professional experience in mental health settings in Texas. She values cultural awareness and addresses issues such as immigration stress, prejudice, and the demands placed on first responders and veterans.
The work is collaborative - she aims to help people build confidence and coping skills that last.

How these approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and strengths. Online sessions let the therapist follow your lead and tailor goals to what matters most, whether that’s parenting stress, anxiety, or motivation to change.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to shift thoughts and behaviors. In video or chat sessions clients learn practical exercises, track progress, and try small experiments between meetings to change patterns that cause distress.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can be practiced during regular online sessions and reinforced through text check-ins or between-session messaging when needed.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and lifestyle. That plan can change over time as needs evolve.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and emotional support. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow quick updates, brief coaching, or steady support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
