About Christina

Christina Burden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and major life changes. Christina concentrates on practical steps clients can use to manage mood and daily functioning.

Christina helps clients who struggle with social anxiety, workplace stress, and communication problems. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric matters, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, and chronic illness or pain. Her work includes helping people cope with caregiver strain and cancer-related emotional challenges.

Her practice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral approaches and Narrative methods. In sessions she listens, reflects, and offers concrete skills for managing symptoms and improving interactions with others. Clients can expect a focus on building emotional regulation and practical coping strategies.

Christina also supports people dealing with codependency, commitment struggles, control issues, blended family tensions, and communication breakdowns. She works with adults wrestling with kink, BDSM and alternative sex culture issues in a nonjudgmental manner. The emphasis is on skills that help people function better day to day.

People starting here complete a short intake process and discuss goals together. Christina favors collaborative planning and measurable steps so clients can notice small changes over time. Sessions address what is happening now and what concrete next steps look like.

How therapeutic methods and online sessions fit together

Christina uses approaches grounded in evidence-based practice. Cognitive Behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. These techniques help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills to change patterns that keep problems going.

Narrative approaches look at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. This work helps separate a person from a problem and can make room for different choices and perspectives during transitions and grief.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Christina will discuss which methods suit a person's goals and preferences and adapt the plan as needs change. The process is collaborative and centered on practical steps you can try between sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. It can also let people attend from wherever they are in Texas, making it simpler to fit therapy into a workday or caregiving schedule.
