About Christina
Christina Briggs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10 years of experience based in Mississippi. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. Christina also works on related issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and relationship separation.
She favors straightforward, skills-based work that helps people notice thought patterns and change unhelpful habits. Sessions focus on practical steps and specific skills rather than abstract discussion. Clients can expect a mix of talking and guided exercises that target current problems and day-to-day functioning.
Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and test thoughts that lead to distress. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to build emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Her background includes a Master of Science and the LCSW credential, with a decade of clinical practice in Mississippi and Tennessee settings. That experience covers both short-term coping and longer-term patterns of behavior.
In early sessions she works with clients to set clear, practical goals and to choose which skills to try first. Progress is measured by changes in day-to-day routines and how well new strategies fit into a person’s life. The emphasis is on learning and practicing tools that can be used between meetings.
How CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness inform online sessions
Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT sessions often include short experiments and homework to test new ways of thinking and behaving.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to teach specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. DBT skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.
Mindfulness Therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and reduce impulsive reactions. Mindfulness practices in sessions are brief and practical so they can be used during daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to select which methods to try based on current concerns, goals, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
