About Christina
Christina Burnett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with 12 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, career issues, and coping with life changes. Christina speaks English and uses several therapeutic approaches to help people make practical changes.
She began clinical work in community mental health and substance use treatment while completing her master of social work. That early work focused on adults involved with criminal and family courts and on substance-related concerns. After graduating she completed clinical supervision and passed the Pennsylvania licensure exam to become an LCSW.
Christina uses a client-centered style alongside cognitive behavioral methods and motivational interviewing. She aims to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different ways of responding. Sessions often focus on skills people can use between meetings to manage anxiety, cravings, relationship patterns, and workplace stress.
Her experience includes supporting people through life transitions, workplace and legal stress, substance use and dependence, and relationship conflict. She also addresses attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and impulse-related concerns such as process and substance addictions.
Christina asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin. Fees vary with location and are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Christina integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in a practical way. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing new behaviors through short exercises and between-session practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working from the person’s goals, giving space to discuss what matters most at the time.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they pick strategies and adjust them as needed rather than committing to one method up front.
The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep consistent appointments and practice skills between sessions, which is an important part of the methods she uses.
