About Christina
Christina Figueroa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 15 years of experience. She works with people who are managing anxiety, depression, stress, attention difficulties, eating concerns, body image worries, and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Christina focuses on practical steps people can use between meetings. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas help clients build day-to-day coping and set clear, achievable goals.
Her approach is straightforward and skills-oriented. Conversations tend to identify current problems, practice specific strategies, and track what works over time. She helps people break larger issues into smaller, manageable tasks and checks progress together.
Christina aims to make sessions useful for everyday life demands like work, family duties, and school. She explains tools in simple language and practices them in session so clients can try them between meetings. When trauma is part of someone’s story, she integrates trauma-focused methods with other approaches to reduce distress and increase stability.
People who prefer sessions in Spanish can work in that language. Christina asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule the first session so practical needs and goals are clear before starting.
BHow sessions work
How Christina’s approaches translate to online work
Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in session. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help manage strong emotions and relationship strain.She also incorporates mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals. Mindfulness can reduce reactivity and support attention challenges. Solution-Focused techniques help clients make practical changes and notice small successes quickly.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Christina collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and day-to-day routine. She reviews what helps and adjusts methods based on client feedback.
