About Christina

Christina Davila is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Christina presents straightforward support that focuses on practical steps and the client's own strengths.

She centers sessions on what the person brings into the room and treats clients as the expert on their own story. Conversations tend to look at current patterns of thinking and behavior, and then test small changes that can reduce tension and improve daily functioning. Christina uses concrete tools rather than abstract talk, so people leave with things to try between sessions.

Her background includes work with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, addiction, first responder stress, immigration-related strain, and issues tied to prejudice and discrimination. This range gives her experience with overlapping concerns and co-morbidity.

Clinically, Christina uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people manage urges, rethink unhelpful beliefs, and build small habits that reduce reactive responses. The focus is on skills that help with irritability and anger without blaming the person.

Sessions are practical, goal-oriented, and paced to a client's comfort. Christina helps people set clear next steps, track small wins, and adjust strategies when something does not work. The overall aim is steadier control over reactions and clearer communication with others.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Christina commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical skills to change reactions and reduce stress.

She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy, which emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. That approach can be useful for people who want specific tools to manage anger, impulsivity, or intense mood shifts. In an online setting these skills are taught in short, practiceable steps that can be tried between sessions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Christina will help clients decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative process and will adjust methods if something is not helpful.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice new skills in familiar daily settings.
