About Christina
Christina Javete is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, motivation challenges, and addiction-related concerns. Christina also has experience helping veterans and addresses relationship strain and trauma-related problems.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she focuses on practical skills - noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying new behavior patterns, and building emotion regulation strategies. Sessions tend to be straightforward and skills-oriented rather than abstract talk.
Christina aims to clarify what is causing distress and then pick concrete steps to reduce it. For someone dealing with panic attacks or social anxiety, that might mean working on exposure tasks and thought records. For grief or life changes, she blends coping skills with paced processing of losses and transitions.
She emphasizes teaching tools people can use between sessions, like mindfulness exercises and DBT-style emotion regulation skills. The approach is collaborative: goals, homework, and progress are discussed openly so people know what to expect from week to week.
Sessions are conducted in English and Christina accepts international clients. Practical matters such as session format and scheduling should be confirmed through the booking process before arranging a first appointment.
How CBT and DBT translate to online work
Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques during sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior experiments to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. DBT emphasizes skill building for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high.The best approach is decided together. She will review your goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on what helps you make steady progress. That collaborative process includes picking homework, practicing skills between sessions, and reviewing what works.
Session formats are not specified in this profile, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills where they spend most of their day, which can make homework more realistic and immediately useful.
