About Christina
Christina Dolese is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Louisiana with four years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and other life changes. Her writing and practice emphasize straightforward support and practical tools.
Christina focuses on helping people improve communication and build stronger coping habits. She uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods. Sessions look at current problems and also patterns that come from family of origin or past relationships.
In the room she listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning. Then she helps set short-term, doable goals and plans to reach them. That may mean learning thought management skills, practicing new ways to talk about needs, or trying brief mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity.
She also addresses concerns that often overlap, like caregiver stress, career pressure, body image, codependency, and difficulties tied to abandonment or attachment. Christina takes a step-by-step approach so progress can be tracked and adjusted over time.
People who choose her tend to want clear strategies and honest feedback. She frames work around specific problems such as parenting strain, burnout, or navigating separation and divorce. The focus is on what can be changed now to make daily life more manageable.
BHow sessions work
How Christina applies therapeutic approaches online
Christina commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in session. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. It helps when someone needs to clarify feelings and decide on next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful patterns.She also integrates mindfulness techniques to help reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment awareness. These are short exercises you can practice between meetings to notice stress and respond differently. Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client identify goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most for daily life and functioning.
