About Christina

Christina Javete is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on helping people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and depression. She brings eight years of clinical experience to conversations about grief, motivation, and self-esteem. Christina frames therapy as a practical process and aims to meet people where they are.

Christina uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. She teaches concrete skills for handling strong feelings and for responding differently when stress or anger flares. Sessions emphasize building tools that can be used in day-to-day life.

Her background includes work with veterans and people coping with major life changes. That experience informs how she structures treatment plans and teaches coping strategies. Christina focuses on respectful, sensitive interaction and adapts the pace to each person’s needs.

She draws from several clinical methods to help with regulation, mood, and motivation. In-session practice, homework between meetings, and step-by-step goal setting are common parts of her work. Christina aims to help people move toward clearer priorities and more manageable daily routines.

People who seek her support often want help with relationships, addiction concerns, trauma, or persistent low mood. Christina aims to support problem solving, skill building, and recovery in ways that fit each person’s life. She encourages small, achievable steps toward change.

How approaches like CBT and DBT translate online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life behavior changes. It often uses short exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger-driven reactions.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Those tools can help when feelings escalate quickly or when strong urges lead to problematic actions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches gentle attention to the present moment to reduce rumination and reactivity. This can support calmer responses to stress and improve mood over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and everyday life. Sessions can shift over time as needs and priorities change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy useful because it can fit around work, caregiving, or travel, reduce commute time, and make it easier to use brief check-ins or practice exercises between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and mindfulness tools to remote work so skills training and planning still happen in clear, practical steps.
