About Christina

Christina Turner draws on a client-centered foundation guided by cognitive behavioral techniques to help people navigate stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

Background and approach

As an LPC licensed in Alabama with five years of counseling experience, she blends practical skills with attuned listening to support clients working through depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to self-esteem and career concerns. She also addresses areas such as addictions, bipolar mood concerns, grief, intimacy-related problems, and ADHD.

Christina emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be explored and new strategies practiced. Her work includes attention to identity and relationship matters for LGBTQ clients, and additional focuses like attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic pain and illness, codependency, and communication difficulties.

Using elements from DBT, mindfulness, and existential approaches alongside CBT, she aims to help clients develop coping skills and clearer perspectives for real-world change. Clients who engage with Christina can expect collaborative goal-setting and practical tools tailored to their situation.

She welcomes the process of finding the right therapeutic fit and offers care shaped by experience, respect, and an emphasis on tangible steps toward relief and growth.

Integrating Practical Therapies into Online Care



Christina often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Client-Centered practices to help clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and learn alternative responses. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and teaching concrete strategies to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and respect for each person’s pace, creating room for exploration of values and personal meaning.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Christina works with each client to assess their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then tailors interventions accordingly. She engages clients in setting priorities and tries methods that fit their comfort level while adjusting as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow people to fit therapy into busy schedules, receive support from their own environment, and use tools and exercises between live sessions. The variety of options aims to make consistent care more practical for different lifestyles and needs.
