About Christina

Christina Harris is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Christina aims to create a practical plan that fits the person in front of her rather than using the same steps for everyone.

Her work is grounded in straightforward conversation and goal-focused planning. Sessions usually center on identifying what feels most pressing, learning coping skills, and practicing small changes that add up. Christina adapts the pace and tools to each person’s needs and comfort level.

She brings nine years of professional experience to her practice in California. That time includes helping people manage daily stress and work through relationship and family tensions. Christina also supports those dealing with low mood and the exhaustion that comes from caregiving or high-demand roles.

Christina invites people to set clear, achievable goals and to track progress between sessions. She emphasizes collaboration and gives practical homework when it helps. Her tone is supportive and direct, aiming to make therapy feel useful and understandable.

If you are weighing whether to try therapy, she encourages a short conversation to see if the fit feels right. The plan and pace are adjusted based on what matters most to you and how you prefer to work.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical skills. One common approach involves structured problem-solving and skill-building to reduce anxiety and manage stress; this teaches steps for breaking problems into workable parts and testing small changes. Another frequent focus is conversational work aimed at relationships and family concerns; this helps people identify patterns, improve communication, and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.

Choosing the right approach happens together. Christina will ask about your goals, what has helped or not helped before, and how you prefer to work. From there she tailors an approach and checks in regularly to adjust if something isn’t working. The process is collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit consistent sessions into a busy life. It reduces travel time, so appointments can be scheduled around work, school pickups, or other commitments. If you want to know which session formats she offers, confirm the current options before booking, since formats are set by the therapist. Many people find video or phone sessions helpful for shorter check-ins, practicing skills between meetings, or keeping momentum when schedules are tight.
