About Christina
Christina Dolese is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with four years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, grief, and relationship or family concerns. Christina lists family of origin issues among her focus areas and often addresses attachment and abandonment-related patterns.
Her sessions emphasize clear, practical talk about what feels stuck. She helps people notice repeating patterns that come from childhood and family roles. Conversations often cover communication skills, boundaries, and ways to manage strong emotions like anger or shame.
Christina uses approaches that center the person’s experience and life context. She draws on client-centered methods to prioritize what a person wants to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Mindfulness practices and narrative work appear in sessions to help people make different sense of past events and current reactions. Motivational interviewing can be part of planning changes that feel realistic and doable.
People who come to her for parenting strain or caregiver stress often get tools for setting limits and reducing overwhelm. For those with ADHD, codependency concerns, or blended family issues, sessions focus on concrete strategies and communication practice. Christina aims to help people build coping skills they can use between meetings.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening to the person and following their priorities. Online sessions using this approach emphasize the client’s goals and what they want to address in day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. In remote sessions CBT often includes worksheets, behavioral experiments, and brief skill practice between meetings. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and simple breathing or noticing exercises. These practices can help reduce reactivity and provide tools for handling stress, grief, or anger. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That conversation guides whether to emphasize CBT skills, narrative work, mindfulness, or a mix of techniques. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Ask about the exact ways sessions are held when you choose a time. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a weekday break, avoid travel time, or choose sessions that match a person’s comfort with video or phone interactions.Areas of expertise
