About Christina

Christina Wynkoop is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 15 years of experience. She focuses on common and painful concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, ADHD, and relationship or family struggles. Christina aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or unsure about therapy.

She uses straightforward, person-focused methods that keep the client’s goals central. Sessions often involve looking at patterns, trying new ways of responding, and practicing small changes that fit everyday life. Christina favors cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused work while drawing on client-centered principles to guide conversations.

Her approach is practical and respectful. She helps people weigh options and choose steps that make sense for them. Christina pays attention to family history, grief, parenting pressures, and the ways mood and impulsivity can affect daily routines.

Many clients come for help with anger, panic, mood disorders, or feeling stuck after loss or separation. She also works with issues like adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, and domestic violence impacts. Christina keeps sessions focused on goals such as reducing intense reactions, improving communication, or managing mood swings.

People who prefer clear, collaborative work find her style accessible. She encourages honest talk and steady progress. If someone is ready to begin, she guides them through the next steps and supports them along the way.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of her. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer goals, and steady support while sorting through strong emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses clear steps and exercises to reduce anxiety, control anger, and change unhelpful patterns in daily life.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on safely processing past hurt and teaching coping skills to manage triggers and intense feelings. It aims to reduce the hold trauma memories have on current mood and reactions.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, trauma-focused tools, or a client-centered approach, or a combination, best fits their goals and situation. This happens together and can change as needs change.

Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, keeping appointments during work breaks, or avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to practice exercises between sessions and bring real-life examples into conversation.
