About Christina

Christina Brown is a Washington-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with four years of clinical experience who blends evidence-based techniques to address common life stressors. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance and mindfulness-oriented methods to help people manage anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, career challenges, and transitions.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes practical skills and compassionate collaboration so clients can build sustainable coping strategies. Christina approaches each person with sensitivity and respect, adapting conversations and treatment plans to match individual needs and goals.

In addition to core concerns like stress and motivation, she has supported clients dealing with attachment and abandonment questions, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, and recovery from relationship violence or disruptive mood difficulties.

She aims to make beginning therapy a manageable step and encourages clients to move at a pace that feels right for them.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Christina commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. ACT emphasizes values, acceptance, and committed action to help people live in line with what matters to them even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present.

Choosing an approach is collaborative; she works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs and goals. Sessions often combine practical skill-building with reflective exercises so clients can test strategies between appointments and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles. These formats allow people to access consistent support while balancing work, family, or other responsibilities, and they make it easier to maintain momentum during transitions or busy seasons.
