Christina Anderson

Christina Anderson is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience in mental health and addictions. She uses a conversational, down-to-earth style to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. Christina keeps language simple and practical so worried parents can quickly understand next steps.

She focuses on addiction, trauma, family problems, mood concerns, and grief. Christina also supports people facing career strain, parenting pressures, sleep and eating difficulties, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Anger and impulsivity are part of her work with people trying to regain control in daily life.

Christina draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered techniques to help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to work through ambivalence about change and Solution-Focused ideas to set concrete short-term goals. Jungian perspectives inform deeper work when a client wants meaning and personal insight.

Her background includes community, school, hospital, home-based, and crisis response settings, as well as specialty health care groups. She has experience supporting first responders, veterans, people living with HIV/AIDS, and hospice contexts. Christina runs a private practice in Indiana and offers in-person and telehealth services.

Christina works in English. To start, she asks people to describe what they want to change and then builds a plan that fits their life. She balances practical steps with space to talk things through, helping people move from stuck to manageable routines.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Christina often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her online work. ACT helps people clarify values and take small, meaningful actions even when emotions are strong, which can be useful for anger, anxiety, and life changes. Motivational Interviewing focuses on resolving mixed feelings about change and can help with addictions and behavior shifts.

She takes a collaborative approach to finding the right fit. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and past experience and then suggest which methods to try. Clients and therapist can adjust the plan as they learn what works best together.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to attend sessions from different locations, which can help fit therapy into a busy routine. Some people find telehealth makes follow-up and shorter check-ins simpler, while others prefer in-person work; confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. The focus is on helping people build manageable routines, practice new skills between meetings, and keep momentum toward their goals.
