About Christina
Christina Balboni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Christina also lists family of origin concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues among her focus areas.
She has more than a decade of experience in the geriatric field, and that work shaped how she approaches conversations about loss and end-of-life concerns. Christina uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels overwhelming and to identify small, workable steps forward. Sessions tend to focus on practical coping strategies and clearer communication about what matters most to the client.
Christina aims to adapt session pace and tools to each person. She helps people who are struggling with motivation, self-confidence, or the fallout from difficult family dynamics. When grief or life transitions are present, she supports efforts to make day-to-day routines more manageable and meaningful.
Her background includes work with chronic illness, body image concerns, blended family issues, and personality-related patterns such as dependent or avoidant behaviors. Christina also has experience with co-morbidity and disruptive mood patterns. She will discuss how symptoms interact and what to try first.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules a first session. Christina works in English and practices in California as an LCSW.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Christina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach centers on behavioral strategies for building routines, boosting motivation, and managing daily symptoms such as low energy or sleep disruption.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christina treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust them based on how the client responds.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.

They also support shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and make it simpler to keep regular contact while managing grief, caregiving demands, or other life changes.
