About Christina
Christina Mossaad is an AASW social worker with five years of direct therapeutic experience in Australia. She works with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. Christina uses practical strategies and clear steps in sessions. She writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on what to try next.
Christina frames the client as the expert on their story and builds on existing strengths. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice values and take small consistent actions.
Sessions are conversational and task-oriented. People can expect to talk through recent problems, identify thinking or habit patterns, and test new ways of responding between sessions. Homework is usually simple and tied to everyday life.
Christina has a background across broader professional roles and has spent five years doing therapeutic work. That mix gives practical insight into day-to-day stress and caregiver pressures. Her approach emphasises small, achievable changes rather than lengthy theory.
People often seek Christina for mood and panic symptoms, grief around life changes, communication struggles, or ongoing caregiver strain. She also addresses attachment concerns, body image and social anxiety in focused sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment.
How Christina uses structured approaches in online sessions
Christina commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behaviour patterns and testing small changes; it is often used for anxiety, panic and low mood. ACT emphasises noticing values and committing to short, meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts are present, which can help with coping during life changes and caregiver strain.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Christina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will choose practical steps to try. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as needs change.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting someone join from a quieter room. Discuss preferred session length and timing when scheduling so sessions fit around work, childcare or other commitments.
