About Christina
Christina Burden is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people through depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and major life changes. Her manner is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make conversations feel calm and manageable for worried parents and busy adults.
Christina listens for what matters most and helps people build simple, usable skills. She emphasizes better communication, mood management, and practical coping strategies for day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Sessions are geared to the person’s pace and immediate needs rather than long lectures. Her background includes two decades of work with stress, workplace pressure, social anxiety, and grief. She also addresses issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, aging and geriatric matters, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic illness and pain, and caregiver strain.
Christina tailors her focus to the specific challenges someone brings to a session. The approach in sessions is collaborative and skill-focused. People can expect active listening, goal-setting, and learning tools that help outside the therapy hour.
Christina supports improved emotional regulation, stronger interpersonal skills, and clearer personal direction. She works in English and provides online options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Christina describes therapy as a step-by-step process that helps people regain footing and move toward their goals one step at a time.
How Christina Adapts Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care
Christina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize concrete skills and personal stories. One approach she uses focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps people spot patterns and try small experiments to feel better. Another useful method centers on narrative work, helping people make sense of life events and losses by organizing experiences into clearer stories that reduce overwhelm and support healing.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will discuss options and test what fits a person’s goals, needs, and comfort level. She collaborates on goals, adjusts techniques based on progress, and prioritizes what helps most in daily life.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people juggling work, family, and medical needs. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction when in-person sessions aren’t possible. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing skill coaching, and flexible moments of support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite a busy schedule.
