About Christina

Christina Turner is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama with five years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Christina also supports clients facing issues around addiction, ADHD, grief, and anger.

Christina uses straightforward conversation to help people name what’s happening and try small, practical changes. She leans on client-centered work to follow each person’s priorities and values. That means sessions focus on what the client wants to talk about and what matters to them.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns in thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Together with clients she looks for clearer ways to respond to stress, manage mood, and handle moments of intense frustration.

Dialectical behavior therapy skills appear in sessions where emotion regulation and distress tolerance are useful. These skills are taught in simple steps and practiced in session so they can be used in daily life.

Christina welcomes LGBTQ clients and addresses issues such as gender dysphoria and relationship dynamics without judgment. She aims to make sessions practical, focused, and relevant to what is happening now in a client’s life.

If someone wants to start, Christina asks them to use the site’s matching process to schedule a first appointment and outline their immediate concerns.

How sessions work

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s concerns and goals. In practice this means sessions begin by listening to what matters most and adjusting conversation to follow the client’s priorities. It helps with stress, relationship concerns, and figuring out next steps when life feels confusing.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Work in CBT includes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger-related patterns.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and tolerating distress. Sessions can teach short, repeatable steps for emotion regulation and communication that a person can use during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. That means trying different techniques and checking what helps most over time.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a packed schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions help them practice skills in their everyday routines without rearranging the whole day.
