About Christina
Christina Cartagena is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles. She talks with clients about relationship and family problems, parenting stresses, grief, trauma, and issues like sleeping or eating concerns. Christina explains things plainly and focuses on practical steps to make daily life feel more manageable.
She uses a collaborative style that centers the person's own goals. Sessions often involve learning coping skills, practicing new ways to handle strong emotions, and looking at patterns in relationships that affect mood and connection.
Background and approach
Christina draws on several therapy approaches to match strategies to each person's needs. Her work includes addressing panic attacks, ADHD-related challenges, anger, intimacy-related issues, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. She also helps with communication problems, caregiver stress, and money or control issues that add to emotional strain.
The aim is to build clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses. Christina has three years of clinical experience as an LPC in South Carolina. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine.
Information about cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To get started, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions according to therapist availability. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
How Christina’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect how someone connects with others. Online sessions use conversation and reflection to identify those patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact; sessions include skill practice and simple experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss what problems matter most, try methods that fit the person's goals, and adjust tools over time. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays useful and practical.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and deeper emotion work, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone prefers writing. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
