About Christina

Christina Briggs is a licensed clinical social worker with a decade of clinical experience, practicing in Mississippi. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

Her work also encompasses related areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, chronic illness and pain, codependency, commitment worries, dissociation, substance-related problems, eating and food-related concerns, and emotional emptiness. Christina blends practical interventions with a compassionate approach, aiming to build an environment where clients can explore thoughts and feelings without judgment.

She uses evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to support skills-building, emotional regulation, and clearer thinking. Sessions emphasize collaboration, helping clients identify goals and practical steps toward change.

Clients seeking support can expect a therapist who values courage and commitment to growth, and who offers steady guidance through transitions and difficult experiences. Christina works with each person to tailor strategies that fit their life circumstances and strengths, supporting the process of building more satisfying, resilient day-to-day living.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care



Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and behavioral concerns. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to strengthen emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs and goals. Together they review progress, try different techniques when appropriate, and adapt the plan based on what proves most helpful for the individual.

Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels with technology. These formats make it easier to continue regular work on skills and insight while accommodating location and timing constraints, helping clients maintain momentum between sessions.
