Christina Ashby, LCSW

Christina Ashby is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience based in Texas. She helps adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma, anger, addictions, and other life changes. Christina integrates clients' spiritual beliefs into sessions when they prefer that perspective.

Her style is direct and practical. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, clarifying goals, and building skills to manage emotions and behavior. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people change unhelpful thinking and respond differently in heated moments.

Christina also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. For people working on relationship problems she incorporates approaches informed by the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy to improve communication and rebuild connection. She brings these methods together in straightforward exercises you can practice between sessions.

Expect a collaborative approach. Christina asks about current supports, past diagnoses or treatments, trauma history, and any medical or substance concerns so she can plan focused work. She tends to emphasize concrete steps rather than long theory talks, and checks in about progress as therapy continues.

Her background includes long experience in ministry settings and community care alongside clinical practice. She works with adult clients in Texas and uses a short intake questionnaire and scheduling process to begin therapy.
