About Christina

Christina Anderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience in mental health and addictions. She practices in Indiana and works with adults on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and anger. Christina describes therapy as a practical conversation to help people get needs met and move forward.

She uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches to address problems that interfere with daily life. Christina helps people facing trauma, family conflict, and life transitions. She has experience supporting those with mood disorders, panic, post-traumatic stress, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.

Her background spans community agencies, schools, hospitals, homes, crisis response teams, EMS, and specialty health care. That range of settings informs how she manages crisis moments and ongoing care. She also has experience with hospice and end-of-life counseling and work with first responders and veterans.

Christina combines methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Jungian-informed ideas, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused work. Sessions focus on practical steps, short-term goals, and clearer choices rather than long lectures. She also brings experience with drug and alcohol addiction and impulsivity concerns.

She runs a private practice offering in-person and telehealth services in Indiana. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, anger that interferes with life, and motivation to change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and supporting the person in deciding what matters; it suits people who want a conversational, non-directive space to sort things out.

Motivational Interviewing is a brief, collaborative method that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It works well for addictions, impulsive behavior, and decisions about recovery or lifestyle adjustments. Christina blends these methods to create clear, practical next steps rather than long theoretical discussions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods fit best. That collaborative decision guides whether sessions focus on values-based action, problem-solving, or building motivation for change.

Her practice offers telehealth as noted in the biography, and she also sees people in person in Indiana. Confirm the current telehealth session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy is simpler to maintain.
