About Christina
Christina Davila is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem, and motivation. She encourages clients to take the first step toward changes they want to make and acknowledges that doing so takes courage.
Christina frames therapy around the idea that each person knows their story best. She builds on clients' strengths and helps them notice patterns that get in the way. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking rather than lengthy theory. That can mean learning new coping skills for anger, setting small goals for substance use, or practicing ways to lower daily stress.
Her approach blends client-centered conversations with structured methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotional regulation is needed. Mindfulness practices and Motivational Interviewing techniques also appear when a client wants to increase motivation or manage urges.
Christina usually works in short, focused sessions that support skill building and check-ins on progress. She helps people practice strategies between sessions and adjust plans when life gets in the way. The goal is clearer thinking and more reliable ways to respond rather than reacting in the moment.
Her work includes topics beyond mood and anger, such as grief, trauma, ADHD, and career concerns. She offers services in English and practices in Texas as an LPC.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts. CBT often involves short exercises and practical homework to test new thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful for strong anger or impulsivity. These are taught in step-by-step ways clients can practice between meetings.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's perspective, and Motivational Interviewing when someone needs help finding reasons to change. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then pick techniques that fit the situation.
If you plan to work online, confirm the session formats available before booking. The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling around work or parenting, shorter check-ins when time is tight, and the ability to use video or phone in ways that suit individual routines. These options can make it simpler to practice new skills in everyday life while keeping therapy part of a busy schedule.
