About Christina
Christina Dolese is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with four years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem concerns, career questions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Christina also addresses specific themes such as attachment and abandonment, blended family concerns, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and family of origin issues.
Her style is client-centered and practical. She listens for the patterns that keep someone stuck. Then she helps people try small changes that can feel manageable. Sessions focus on clear steps, realistic goals, and improving day-to-day coping skills.
Christina draws on several approaches to guide work in session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered to help manage intense emotions and reduce reactivity. Narrative and Motivational Interviewing techniques help people reframe stories about themselves and find motivation for change.
Expect a straightforward conversational approach that balances emotional work with skill building. Christina helps people improve communication, set boundaries, and navigate life transitions without promising a fixed outcome. She supports clients who want to make concrete shifts in relationships, work, or personal routines.
Sessions are offered in English and Christina does not work with international clients. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the platform.
How Christina uses evidence-based approaches online
Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in session. CBT helps people notice and test thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood, and it focuses on small, practical behavior changes. Mindfulness Therapy offers exercises to steady attention, lower reactivity, and manage intense feelings when stress or grief feels overwhelming.She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy ideas, which means conversations center on the client's concerns and preferences. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to try methods, review what helps, and adjust techniques based on real results and goals.
Confirm the session formats Christina currently offers before booking, since format details are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or remove the need to be on camera when someone prefers audio only. These practical benefits can help therapy fit routine responsibilities while focusing on skills for coping, communication, and making next-step decisions.
