About Christina

Christina Davila is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who blends evidence-informed strategies with a collaborative, person-focused stance to address stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

With three years of clinical practice, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based tools to help clients build practical coping skills, strengthen motivation, and improve self-esteem. Christina works with adults and adolescents facing issues such as anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, mood disorders, and complications from substance use.

She also supports people navigating career shifts, parenting pressures, ADHD, and the emotional fallout from major life changes. Her approach emphasizes that each person is the expert on their own story, and she partners with clients to identify strengths, set achievable goals, and practice strategies that produce visible progress.

Therapy with Christina centers on respectful listening, clear skill-building, and collaborative problem solving. She encourages clients to take the first step toward a more satisfying life and offers guidance and support as they develop resilience and practical tools to manage difficult emotions and behaviors.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Christina frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical experiments and skill practice; this approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood-related concerns. She also draws on client-centered therapy, emphasizing empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard while exploring their values and goals. When emotions are intense or regulation skills are needed, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used to teach grounding, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all decision. Christina partners with clients to assess needs, try strategies, and adjust methods so the plan fits each person's goals and preferences. This collaborative stance helps shape goals, pacing, and the mix of skill-building and supportive reflection.

Online therapy with Christina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives, maintain continuity while managing schedules, and practice skills between sessions using convenient communication methods with a licensed professional.
