About Christina
Christina Burnett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and anger. Christina also supports people navigating career changes and other life transitions.
She began her career in community mental health and substance abuse treatment while completing a Master of Social Work at the University of New England. That early work involved advocacy and treatment for adults connected to criminal and family courts. She later completed clinical supervision and passed Pennsylvania's LCSW licensure exam in 2020.
Christina uses a client-centered approach in session. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and influences from Jungian ideas. In practice this means she listens for what matters most, then helps people name patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving.
In a typical session she will talk through concrete problems, practice different responses, and plan small steps to try between meetings. She draws on experience with substance use, relationship conflict, codependency, shame, and impulsive behavior when those issues come up.
Her background also includes work with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, process addictions, social anxiety, workplace stress, and young adult issues. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her years working with adults on practical, day-to-day changes.
How sessions work
Approach-driven online sessions and practical work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the client. The therapist reflects concerns, clarifies goals, and helps people shape the work around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and to change unhelpful reactions, which can be useful for anger, anxiety, and impulse control.Choosing the best approach is part of the collaboration. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That means the plan can change as progress or challenges appear, and the client has input about which techniques feel useful.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work during life transitions or when relocating within the United States. Licensed professionals adapt pacing and homework to suit remote work so progress is practical and manageable.
