About Christina
Christina Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. She describes clients as the experts in their own stories and aims to support their strengths as they make changes.
Christina focuses on practical, down-to-earth work in sessions. She helps clients talk through what sparks strong reactions such as anger or anxiety. Sessions look at patterns of thinking and behavior that make problems worse and test small, manageable changes between meetings.
She also addresses attachment concerns, communication problems, and feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness, or jealousy. Christina has worked with caregivers and with people who have intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum differences, looking at needs that affect daily life and relationships.
When trauma or past abuse is part of the picture, she approaches those issues alongside current stress and relationship patterns rather than separating them. Clients can expect conversations that connect history to present reactions and practical strategies to reduce impulsivity and rebuild trust with others.
Christina uses a strengths-based stance that keeps the client’s goals central. She encourages realistic, step-by-step change and recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Christina’s approaches translate to online sessions
Evidence-based techniques often used to address anger and trauma include approaches that focus on present-day patterns and skills practice. One common method helps people notice automatic thoughts and unhelpful beliefs that escalate anger, then practice alternative responses to reduce reactivity. This approach is practical and works well for workplace frustration and relationship flare-ups.Another helpful technique focuses on connecting past experiences to current reactions. It looks at attachment and relational patterns so clients can see why certain situations trigger strong feelings. That work can be useful for resentment, jealousy, and rebuilding more steady interactions with others.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
