Christina Figueroa

Christina Figueroa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 15 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical steps people can use to manage stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and anger. Christina speaks English and Spanish and frames therapy as a partnership where a person’s strengths guide the work.

She uses clear, goal-focused methods to address problems like depression, ADHD-related challenges, body image concerns, and eating issues. Sessions emphasize small, doable changes and skills that can be practiced between meetings. Christina encourages realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her approach blends cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift toward healthier behavior. She also draws on dialectical behavior strategies and solution-focused ideas to teach coping skills and build routines that reduce overwhelm. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are part of current struggles.

Christina seeks to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what’s hard and learn new ways of responding. She aims to help each person feel more in control of daily life and more confident in their decision making. The work is collaborative and paced to fit individual needs.

People interested in getting started will follow a short matching process and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. The therapist notes that sessions operate through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Christina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Christina uses cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical behavior therapy ideas to help people change unhelpful thoughts and learn new coping skills. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns and testing small behavioral changes to lower anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for strong reactions like anger.

She also integrates mindfulness practices to help people be more aware of their moment-to-moment reactions and to slow down during high-stress moments. Together these approaches target stress, mood symptoms, anger, and ADHD-related impulsivity in a step-by-step way. Deciding which methods to use is part of the collaboration; she will work with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that fits a schedule. It can also let people keep therapy consistent through life changes while the therapist and client adjust goals and homework to what works in everyday life.
