About Christina
Christina Figueroa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 15 years of experience. She works with common concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating concerns, body image, and stress management. Christina speaks English and Spanish and frames therapy as a practical process.
She uses clear, structured methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on small, manageable changes that can reduce day-to-day stress. Christina emphasizes skills people can practice between visits so progress carries into everyday life.
Christina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and test alternative responses. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness when strong feelings or conflicts arise. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to improve focus and reduce reactivity.
For someone dealing with eating concerns or body image distress, sessions include concrete steps to shift behaviors and respond differently to triggers. When ADHD affects routines or attention, Christina helps set up practical strategies to organize tasks and reduce overwhelm.
People looking to cope with grief, relationship strain, anger, bipolar mood concerns, or life changes can expect a problem-focused approach. Christina works collaboratively to set goals and measure progress with short-term, solution-focused techniques when appropriate.
How her approaches translate to online work
Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions focus on clear goals, short experiments, and practical homework to apply between meetings.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal strategies. DBT skills can be useful when strong emotions make daily tasks or relationships harder. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build attention and reduce reactivity through simple breathing and noticing exercises.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is tracked.
