About Christina
Christina Burnett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, career concerns, and coping with life changes.
She began her counseling work in community mental health and substance abuse treatment while completing her master of social work. That early work involved supporting adults involved with criminal and family court systems and advocating for their needs. Since obtaining her LCSW she has continued clinical practice with adults facing legal, work, and relationship pressures.
Christina uses a client-centered approach and often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and elements of Jungian therapy. In sessions she helps people notice patterns that feed anger and stress, test small behavior changes, and build clearer communication habits. She focuses on practical steps rather than abstract theory.
Her work includes helping people reduce impulsive reactions, manage cravings and substance use, and rebuild trust after conflict. She also addresses attachment issues, codependency, control struggles, and workplace stress. Sessions pay attention to symptoms like panic attacks, shame, and social anxiety when they affect daily life.
Christina practices in Pennsylvania and conducts work in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to start the process.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and priorities. Online sessions let the therapist listen, reflect, and build a plan driven by the client’s goals. This approach helps when someone wants practical changes in how they respond to anger.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into manageable parts. In online sessions Christina can help identify the thoughts that escalate anger and try small behavioral experiments between meetings to test alternatives. Motivational interviewing supports readiness to change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal reasons for change, which can be useful for substance use and repeated anger episodes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining CBT techniques with motivational interviewing or using client-centered conversation to set the next steps.
The therapist’s exact session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow short check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions fit around work or family obligations. It can also permit phone-only meetings when bandwidth or time is limited. Ask about available formats when you schedule to match therapy to your day.
