About Christina

Christina Janiszeski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing anger, depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. Christina uses clear, down-to-earth language to help people manage overwhelming feelings and find workable steps forward.

She blends approaches to match each person's story. Sessions emphasize listening first and then building small, doable changes. Christina draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person and uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors.

Her background includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University and licensure as an LPC in Minnesota. Over a decade she has worked with people dealing with grief, self-esteem struggles, stress, relationship and family issues, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and life transitions.

In the therapy room she often brings mindfulness skills and motivational interviewing techniques to support readiness and lasting change. She also attends to related areas like body image, chronic pain and illness, codependency, and substance use when those issues are part of a person's life.

Christina keeps therapy focused on what someone can do between sessions. She explains options, helps set short-term goals, and checks in on progress. If you want straightforward help managing anger or coping with other challenges, she offers practical tools and steady guidance.

How Christina's Approaches Translate Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online work using this approach means sessions start by identifying priorities and then shaping sessions around those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and then practice new ways of responding; online sessions can include short exercises and homework to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining listening-based methods with CBT, mindfulness exercises, or motivational interviewing depending on what helps the person make steady progress.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports practicing skills in day-to-day life and reviewing homework between sessions, which can help people apply what they learn in real situations.
