About Christina

Christina De Lucia is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and a wide range of mood and behavioral challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on eight years of clinical experience to offer practical coping strategies alongside deeper therapeutic work, supporting clients as they build skills to manage symptoms and explore underlying patterns. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered and mindfulness-based techniques, and she also integrates psychodynamic and solution-focused perspectives when helpful.

Christina emphasizes creating a nonjudgmental, respectful space where clients can move at their own pace, learn stress-reduction tools, and identify personal strengths. Her practice addresses many concerns including grief, intimacy-related issues, addictions, ADHD, self-esteem, and life transitions, plus focused topics like codependency, infidelity, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.

Christina communicates in English and serves clients in New Jersey; she offers multiple session formats so people can choose what fits their routine. Her work aims to combine immediate symptom relief with long-term growth and clearer direction, inviting clients to collaborate on goals and strategies that feel meaningful to them.

How approaches like CBT and mindfulness translate to online therapy

Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy alongside mindfulness techniques to address emotional and behavioral concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship so clients feel heard while they explore goals and personal values. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction skills that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work she does with each person. Christina typically discusses options with clients, tailoring strategies to their goals, preferences, and life circumstances so therapy feels practical and personally relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These formats make it easier to practice CBT exercises, share reflections between meetings, and receive timely coping tools while fitting therapy into everyday life.
