Christina Wynkoop is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She has worked extensively with people facing trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and a range of family and relationship challenges, bringing a steady, experienced presence to each case.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes practical, evidence-informed methods with a primary focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy, while also drawing on client-centered principles that prioritize each person’s perspective. Christina aims to empower clients to examine situations from multiple angles, build coping skills, and make decisions that align with their values.

Christina adapts her approach to respect individual differences and meet clients where they are in the change process. She offers support for issues such as grief, parenting stress, ADHD, panic and impulsivity, and complex family dynamics including adoption, blended families, divorce, and domestic violence.

Her style blends compassion with structure to help people move through difficult transitions and strengthen day-to-day coping.

Approaches for Online Healing and Practical Change

Christina frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping skills; this approach is often applied to anxiety, depression, panic, and day-to-day stress. She also integrates Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of traumatic experiences, helping clients process difficult memories and reduce trauma-related symptoms in structured ways.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Christina works together with each person to clarify goals, assess needs, and test different strategies so therapy evolves based on what is most helpful. She emphasizes client preferences and tailors methods to match the pace and priorities of the individual.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for those balancing work, family, or other commitments. These formats make it easier to attend regularly, maintain momentum between meetings, and access care from various locations while working with a licensed professional who adapts techniques for remote delivery.
