About Christina
Christina Manolatos is a licensed professional counselor with ten years of clinical experience. She offers a calm presence and listening ear when people feel overwhelmed. Her approach aims to help people name what’s happening and take small, clear steps forward.
Christina uses straightforward conversation and practical tools. She helps people notice thought patterns, manage stress and anxiety, and cope with loss or big life changes. Sessions often focus on what feels most urgent and achievable for the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in mental health hospital settings and college environments, and she has supported people with a wide range of concerns. That experience informs how she responds to crisis, high stress, and complicated emotional issues. Christina also brings experience working with people affected by substance use and with challenges tied to family of origin or attachment wounds.
She draws on client-centered and existential ideas to keep the work focused on each person’s values and choices. Mindfulness and hypnotherapy techniques are used when helpful to manage symptoms like sleeplessness, panic, or persistent negative self-talk. Motivational interviewing can support changes related to addiction or habit patterns.
Christina offers services from Wisconsin and speaks English and Greek. She aims for a warm, empathic tone and works at a pace chosen with the client. People looking for help with stress, grief, relationship or intimacy concerns often seek practical coping strategies and clearer direction, and she structures sessions to provide both.
Approaches to change in online sessions
Christina uses client-centered work to create a respectful, listening space where the person sets the pace and goals. This approach helps when someone needs to sort through feelings, build self-esteem, or decide what matters most.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Those skills can ease anxiety, support better sleep, and reduce reactivity in moments of anger or stress.
Hypnotherapy is offered as a tool for focused relaxation and for addressing habits such as sleep disruption or unwanted behaviors. It is presented as a guided technique that people can try when they want a different way to access concentration and calm.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past to choose an approach that fits. Plans are adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone can work when lower bandwidth or not being on camera is easier. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection, or scheduling flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel.
