About Christina
Christina Gower is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, bipolar issues, sleep problems, grief, ADHD, and trauma-related concerns. Sessions are in English and she does not work with international clients.
Christina draws on several evidence-informed approaches in her sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and change unhelpful patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices to teach practical tools for handling intense emotions and reducing impulsive responses.
Her approach is interactive and person-focused. Conversations aim to clarify what matters most, set small goals, and practice skills between sessions. Expect guided exercises, real-life behavior plans, and attention to how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect.
Christina has experience across inpatient and outpatient settings, and with conditions ranging from acute stress responses to chronic mood disorders. That background informs how she helps people manage severe upset and day-to-day frustration alike.
Practical matters are discussed up front. She uses a subscription payment system that can be canceled at any time and pricing varies by location. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify values and commit to small actions that align with those values. It can help when anger or frustration gets in the way of relationships or daily goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to test and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. That approach is often useful for stress, anxiety, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to reduce impulsive reactions and improve responses to intense emotions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit their situation, goals, and preferences. That means trying exercises, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed. The platform describes practical benefits of meeting online such as fitting sessions into a busy routine and making it easier to keep appointments around work or family commitments. The therapist's sessions use a subscription payment model; confirm current session formats before booking so you know whether video or another option is available. Online work can make it simpler to practice tools between meetings and to build brief check-ins into a regular schedule.Areas of focus
