Christina Wynkoop, LPCC

Christina Wynkoop is an Ohio-licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 15 years of experience. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods and trauma-focused work while keeping the conversation centered on each person's needs. Christina aims to make therapy approachable and practical for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or big life changes.

She uses clear, straightforward language in sessions and helps clients identify patterns that keep them stuck. Christina encourages people to try small, manageable steps between meetings so progress feels connected to everyday life. She also helps clients weigh options and make decisions that fit their values.

Her background includes many years helping people cope with trauma and mood-related concerns such as depression, bipolar disorder, and panic. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and issues tied to family dynamics like blended households and adoption and foster care questions.

Christina practices mainly with client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and trauma-focused approaches. In practice that looks like listening closely, helping clients reframe unhelpful thinking, and using trauma-informed strategies to reduce overwhelm. She works with attention and impulse concerns such as ADHD and impulsivity by creating concrete tools and routines.

Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and how to make that change last. Christina asks practical questions, offers skills to try between sessions, and revisits what’s working. Her style is respectful, collaborative, and aimed at helping people feel more in control of their day-to-day lives.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist creates space for people to say what matters most and then helps them set goals that feel relevant and achievable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical tools to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood issues. Trauma-Focused Therapy uses strategies to reduce the intense emotional reactions trauma can cause and to build steady coping skills for daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies so sessions stay useful and manageable. The process is described and agreed on together rather than assumed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it simpler to bring therapy techniques into everyday routines, so homework and new skills are practiced between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and trauma-focused techniques well to remote formats, and Christina will help plan practical steps that fit into a person's life.
