About Cristina
Cristina Juisti is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience in community mental health in Pennsylvania. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Cristina speaks English and offers practical support for people navigating difficult periods.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is causing distress. Sessions look at current thoughts, behaviors, and relationships that keep problems going. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and tries different ways of responding to them.
Cristina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered methods. That means she works with what a person is experiencing now, and checks in about what helps and what does not. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people want help with changing habits or making decisions.
In appointments she focuses on clear steps and small experiments people can try between sessions. She also helps people strengthen coping skills for stress, mood swings, and times of loss or change. Her style is direct and practical, aiming to make the next steps manageable.
People can expect a collaborative discussion about goals and concrete strategies. The emphasis is on noticing patterns, testing alternatives, and building everyday skills that fit a person’s life. To begin, clients use the website process to match and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says, helping them clarify thoughts and feelings so they can decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses short practical exercises to test new responses. Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh options and find their own reasons to change when they feel stuck.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. She will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted over time based on what the person finds useful.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The therapist will work with each person to set a practical plan for regular sessions and between-session exercises that fit daily life.
