About Christina

Christina Burden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people through depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and major life changes. Her manner is warm and direct, inviting clients to speak openly about what matters to them.

Christina listens for the patterns behind stress and mood problems. She helps clients break concerns into small, manageable steps. Sessions often include learning practical skills for communication, mood management, and coping with change.

Her work covers a wide range of issues, including abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, and cancer-related concerns. She also addresses caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, commitment and control issues, and challenges related to kink and alternative sex culture.

Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She aims to help people build self-acceptance, improve how they talk with others, and strengthen emotional regulation. The focus is on realistic changes that fit a person’s life and goals.

Beginning therapy with Christina involves an initial matching process and scheduling that fits around the client’s needs. She works with adults seeking practical tools and steady support while they navigate difficult transitions.

How Christina Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

Christina works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive behavioral approaches look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teach clear steps to shift unhelpful patterns. This can help with anxiety, depression, and mood management by creating small experiments and new routines.

Narrative-style work helps people separate themselves from the problems they face. It invites clients to tell their story, notice recurring themes, and try new storylines that support personal goals and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Christina will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and then test methods to see what fits best. That collaborative process means changes are tailored and paced to the person’s life.

If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking because formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Speak with the matching process about scheduling and format details so sessions match daily life and goals.
