About Christina

Christina Janiszeski is an LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor, with ten years of clinical experience. She practices in Minnesota and focuses on concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, addictions, and stress. Christina also supports people facing career and relationship strains and those adjusting to major life changes.

She trained at Regis University and uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Christina blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and elements of existential and mindfulness work. She also draws on motivational interviewing when people are wrestling with change or substance use decisions.

In a typical session she helps people name what is happening, notice patterns, and develop small, doable changes. That may include skill practice, checking unhelpful thoughts, and trying new ways to respond when anger or anxiety flare. Sessions aim to be direct and useful rather than abstract.

Christina often addresses attachment and family of origin issues alongside present-day problems. She works with concerns such as codependency, communication problems, and control issues. She also supports people coping with chronic pain, body image struggles, and the practical fallout of divorce or separation.

Her work includes helping clients reduce resentments, rebuild trust with themselves, and find clearer choices when emotions feel overwhelming. People who want plainspoken guidance and a mix of talking and concrete tools may find her approach a good fit.

How sessions work

Approach-focused online work and practical tools

Christina commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping people clarify what matters to them, which can reduce reactivity and build self-understanding. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches specific skills to change patterns like anger or anxiety.

She also incorporates existential ideas when people are making meaning of loss or life changes, helping them name values and choices. Choosing an approach is collaborative; the therapist will discuss what fits your situation and try different methods as goals evolve.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family routines, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let a therapist coach practical skills you can use between meetings. Talk with her about how to schedule sessions that match your rhythm and goals.
