About Christina

Christina Burden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, depression, and major life changes. She works with people who are facing difficult transitions and who want practical ways to cope and move forward.

Christina focuses on everyday problems like social anxiety, workplace stress, mood swings, and grief after loss. She helps clients name what is happening, understand patterns that come from their family of origin, and try small changes that can reduce overwhelm. Conversations are direct and focused on what to do next.

Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to build skills and clarity. Christina listens for recurring roles and expectations people grew up with, then helps them practice different responses in current relationships. She also supports people learning better communication and stronger emotional regulation.

Christina often works on concrete goals such as managing panic, improving conversations, coping with chronic illness or caregiving demands, and handling shifts brought by adoption, aging, or blended family situations. She encourages steady progress through skill-building and repeated practice.

Clients can expect a practical, hands-on style that mixes reflection with action. Christina guides people to notice family-of-origin patterns and then test new ways of relating, so daily life becomes easier to manage.

How Christina uses evidence-based methods in online work

Christina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive behavioral approaches help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. Narrative-oriented work helps people separate themselves from old family stories and rehearse new, more helpful ways of relating.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Christina will listen to your concerns and goals, then recommend methods to try. Together you can adjust the focus and techniques as you see what helps most for your daily life and relationships.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Ask about the specific session options available and how they might align with your needs and routine.
