About Christina

Christina Louise Senn, LCSW, approaches therapy from a collaborative, client-centered perspective that integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-informed methods.

Background and approach

She frames clients as the authorities on their own lives and works to amplify existing strengths while introducing practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and compassion fatigue. Her style balances empathy with skills-based work to help clients navigate change and build sustainable coping tools.

With five years of professional experience licensed in Florida (FL LCSW SW20876), Christina blends client-led exploration with targeted interventions such as CBT and DBT skills to address mood disorders, social anxiety, and issues related to identity and relationships.

She also attends to concerns around chronic pain, isolation, seasonal mood shifts, and a range of sexual and relationship expressions, offering a nonjudgmental space to explore difficult topics. Christina supports clients through transitions and recovery at a pace that honors their goals and values.

Her approach emphasizes empowerment and practical growth; she helps people translate insights into behavior change while respecting each person’s expertise about their life. Christina aims to meet clients where they are and guide them toward greater resilience and clearer direction.

Approaches that guide online work and progress



Christina integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into online sessions to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete behavioral strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and mood symptoms. CBT work typically focuses on practical skills and short-term goals to reduce distress and increase functioning.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes the client's own perspective and pace. This approach fosters an environment where clients can explore values, make sense of life changes, and build on personal strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs and preferences. She discusses options, adjusts techniques over time, and partners with clients to set meaningful goals and track progress together.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access sessions from locations across Florida. These formats can make it easier to maintain regular appointments, accommodate busy schedules, and use different modes of communication to suit emotional needs and practical circumstances.
