About Christina
Christina Dolese is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, parenting strain, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and difficulty coping with life changes. Christina also lists work related to anger, self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among her specialties.
Christina uses straightforward conversation and problem-solving to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and mindfulness approaches to make ideas concrete and practical. Sessions often involve identifying patterns, trying small behavior changes, and checking what works in daily life.
Her background as an LCSW informs a focus on real-world coping skills and communication strategies. She also brings narrative and motivational techniques when exploring values, past experiences, or readiness for change. This mix supports work on attachment concerns, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, and related areas.
People who choose her often want clear steps to manage symptoms and clearer ways to talk about difficult feelings. Christina aims to help clients practice new responses between sessions and track progress over time. She offers services in English and does not work with international clients.

How her approaches fit into online work
Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify specific thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress. CBT sessions focus on practical experiments - trying small changes and reviewing how they worked - which can translate well to remote sessions because they rely on homework and real-life practice.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's concerns and pace. This approach emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can clarify what matters to them before choosing next steps. Mindfulness Therapy appears in her practice as short attention and breathing exercises that help reduce reactivity and ground someone during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether CBT, client-centered methods, mindfulness, or a mix fits best based on goals, current problems, and personal preferences. That plan can change as needs evolve.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so confirm available options before scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when necessary, and let people practice skills in their day-to-day settings without traveling. Licensed professionals can adapt homework, communication skills practice, and mindfulness exercises to remote sessions to keep progress practical and focused on real-life changes.
