About Christina

Christina Stuckey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings ten years of clinical experience to her work in Indiana.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood challenges, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and trauma-related concerns, and she also addresses issues such as ADHD, grief, sleep and eating problems, and caregiver strain. Christina emphasizes a collaborative, client-led process where clients’ goals and feedback shape the work together.

Her clinical background includes providing individual and group therapy across hospitals, outpatient settings, and virtual care. Christina draws on a variety of evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic perspectives, and client-centered techniques.

She prioritizes identifying barriers to well-being and building practical coping strategies while remaining open to adjusting methods based on what each person finds helpful. Christina earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Purdue University and a master’s in social work from Loyola University Chicago.

She invites clients to share questions about her approach and to actively participate in shaping therapy so that sessions feel meaningful and useful to their lives.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Christina commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and teaching concrete techniques to shift those patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, mood concerns, panic, and phobias. Mindfulness therapy encourages learning present-moment awareness and acceptance skills to reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation, helpful for stress, grief, and burnout.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina approaches treatment collaboratively. She works with clients to clarify goals, try different interventions, and adjust techniques based on what fits best with their needs and preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor evidence-informed strategies to each person's situation.

Online formats make it possible to use these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, quick access to support between sessions, and multiple ways to engage according to comfort level and lifestyle. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and goal-focused work to virtual settings to keep progress moving forward.
