About Christina

Christina Javete practices from a foundation of structured, skills-oriented care that emphasizes practical strategies alongside emotional support. Christina Javete is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with eight years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges with self-esteem.

Background and approach

She draws on evidence-based methods to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs, focusing on concrete tools that promote coping, motivation, and resilience. Her clinical interests include working through trauma and abuse, addictions, anger, and relationship concerns, as well as related issues such as panic attacks, mood disorders, postpartum depression, and isolation or loneliness.

Christina also addresses communication problems, life purpose, and aspects of pregnancy and childbirth, and she has experience supporting veterans. She frames therapy as a collaborative process rooted in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, aiming to support clients as they take steps toward clearer priorities and greater well-being.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Christina combines structured, skills-based methods with supportive dialogue to help clients move through difficult emotions and daily challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can be especially useful for intense moods, interpersonal conflict, and managing strong reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with individuals to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different strategies, adjusting plans as progress unfolds so the work fits each person’s circumstances and values.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care while accessing skill practice, coaching, and therapeutic conversation from different locations.
