About Christina
Christina Janiszeski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience in Minnesota. She helps people who are dealing with anger, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and addiction-related struggles. Christina works directly with concerns like self-esteem, stress, relationship problems, career strain, and coping with life changes.
Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She listens to what matters most to the client and focuses on concrete steps that reduce anger and improve daily functioning. Conversations address patterns that lead to outbursts, build skills for handling frustration, and include planning for stressful situations.
Christina draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions grounded in each person’s needs, and she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also weaves in mindfulness practices and elements of Motivational Interviewing when people are working through ambivalence about change.
Her background includes work with those facing addiction and trauma, and she supports people managing chronic pain, body image, and codependency concerns. Christina’s approach emphasizes practical tools - breathing and grounding techniques, thought-challenging, and communication strategies - that can be used between sessions.
Sessions are aimed at clearer decision-making and fewer reactive moments. Christina encourages small, achievable changes and regular check-ins on progress. Prospective clients in Minnesota can expect a focused, skill-based approach that centers on lowering tension and improving day-to-day interactions.
How her methods translate to online work
Christina commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with anger. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and priorities, helping conversations stay grounded in what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies patterns of thought and behavior that feed anger and teaches specific skills to change them.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice their bodily reactions and choose different responses. These practices can reduce reactivity and support clearer thinking during stressful moments. Choosing an approach is collaborative; she will work with each person to decide which methods best fit their goals and situation.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where they usually experience frustration, then bring observations back to the session for problem-solving and planning.
