About Christina

Christina Burnett is a licensed clinical social worker whose practice blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, and related challenges.

Background and approach

She brings 12 years of experience working in community mental health and substance use settings, where she supported adults facing legal and family court involvement as well as workplace and life transitions. Christina earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Penn State University and completed a master’s degree in social work at the University of New England.

Her clinical style emphasizes collaboration and practical skills, drawing on motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies alongside CBT techniques to address symptoms such as depression, panic and trauma responses, and problems with impulse control. Christina holds Pennsylvania LCSW licensure (PA LCSW CW021224) and completed a Level One certification in cognitive behavioral therapy from the National Association of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists.

She aims to work with clients to clarify goals, build coping strategies, and explore patterns that contribute to difficulties like codependency, workplace stress, and substance-related behaviors.

Combining Practical Approaches with Online Access

Christina integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods to guide online work in ways that are approachable and focused on real-world change. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and build concrete skills for reducing anxiety, managing panic, and addressing depressive patterns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client's own goals, creating space to explore relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and identity concerns.

Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process; Christina will work with each person to determine which strategies fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Together they review what is helping or hindering progress, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy feels useful and relevant.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to maintain continuity during busy schedules or life transitions. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from Pennsylvania while using formats that match their communication style and availability.
