About Christina
Christina Colistro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho with three years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Christina lists life purpose among her practice interests and works with people who feel stuck or unsure about what comes next.
Her sessions use evidence-based techniques alongside body-centered and reflective practices. Christina names Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-informed care as part of her approach. She also uses mindfulness and somatic awareness to help people notice patterns in their thoughts and bodies.
In conversation she aims for direct, honest dialogue with some lightness. Christina focuses on helping people break repeating patterns, clarify values, and take practical steps forward. She describes working on emotional regulation, attachment concerns, and issues like guilt, shame, and isolation.
Her work includes attention to women’s concerns and support for LGBTQ+ people, and she notes experience with panic, post-traumatic stress, and mood disorders. Christina collaborates on a plan that fits each person’s goals and preferences rather than offering a fixed program.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment is handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time and varies with location.
Approach and working online
Christina lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as part of her toolkit. CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. She also references Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which emphasizes skills for regulating emotions and managing distress in everyday situations.She describes using trauma-informed care and Internal Family Systems (IFS) approaches alongside mindfulness and somatic awareness. Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying one fixed method.
