About Christina

Christina Janiszeski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She centers care on the individual's story, aiming to create a therapeutic space where practical skills and personal meaning come together to address concerns such as grief, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Christina draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Her work blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with client-centered and existential perspectives, along with mindfulness and motivational interviewing when appropriate. This combination supports clients in developing coping tools, improving communication, and exploring values and purpose alongside symptom reduction.

Christina holds an LPC and maintains licensure details for Minnesota as MN LPC 2417 and Colorado as CO LPC LPC.0014963. She practices from Minnesota and offers flexible session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Online approaches that combine skills and reflection

Christina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

She also employs Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients can explore their values and goals at their own pace. This approach supports people who want a respectful, nonjudgmental space to process life changes, relationship concerns, or grief.

Choosing the right approach is something Christina treats as a collaborative process. She works with each client to clarify goals, experiment with techniques, and adjust methods over time so the plan fits the person's needs and preferences rather than following a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Online therapy with Christina is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which helps make sessions more accessible and adaptable to busy schedules. Those options allow for continuity of care when in-person meetings aren’t practical and let clients use formats that best support their comfort and day-to-day life.
