About Christina
Christina Ashby is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas and Oregon with 12 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and struggles with self-esteem and intimacy. Christina integrates spiritual beliefs into sessions when clients want that included.
She takes a practical approach in sessions. Christina asks about current family situation, past mental health history, medications, social supports, and any traumas or medical factors that affect daily life. She uses straightforward conversation to identify strengths and limits and to set clear goals clients can act on.
Christina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach coping tools for mood and anxiety concerns. For relationship issues she uses Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy ideas to improve communication and address infidelity, jealousy, and trust. Mindfulness techniques are used to manage stress and increase present-moment awareness.
Sessions are aimed at practical change: reducing distressing symptoms, improving communication, and building routines that support work and family life. Christina also has experience with first responder and veteran issues, multicultural concerns, personality-related struggles, and workplace stress.
She works in English and asks people to confirm they are located in Texas before scheduling. New clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire about their situation and needs before the first session.
BHow sessions work
Online approaches and how they fit day-to-day life
Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside relationship methods like the Gottman Method. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. DBT adds concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and regulating reactions in stressful situations. The Gottman Method targets communication and interaction patterns in relationships, helping partners learn practical ways to reduce conflict and rebuild trust.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Christina will talk with the client about their goals, daily stresses, and what techniques feel workable. Together they decide whether skills practice, mindfulness exercises, communication work, or a mix of methods makes the most sense for the situation.
The original biography does not list which online session formats she uses, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use breaks at work or evenings more efficiently. Discuss format and scheduling in the initial matching questionnaire and when you book a first session.
