About Christina

Christina Figueroa is a licensed clinical social worker who centers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy within a pragmatic, strengths-focused practice. She draws on 15 years of experience in Florida to help people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating and body image concerns, and stress-related difficulties.

Background and approach

Christina emphasizes the client's own knowledge of their life and builds on existing abilities to create realistic, manageable steps toward change. Her approach weaves practical strategies with validation and empowerment, using evidence-informed tools to address mood, self-esteem, relationship stresses, grief, and coping through life transitions.

Christina also integrates techniques from dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused therapy when those methods fit a person’s goals. She offers services in English and Spanish and aims to support clients through collaborative goal setting and skill-building to increase resilience and everyday functioning.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and everyday stressors. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills are needed, offering clear tools to navigate intense feelings and improve interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Christina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She tailors interventions over time, combining strategies from CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-focused work as appropriate to support progress and skill development.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access therapy from home or work, allowing consistent skill practice and check-ins without travel, and support continuity of care while adapting to each client’s needs and availability.
