About Christina
Christina Dolese is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Louisiana. She brings four years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and major life changes. Christina focuses on practical steps clients can use right away to feel steadier and more connected.
She creates a calm, respectful space where people can talk through difficult emotions without judgment. Sessions emphasize clear communication, building self-compassion, and making small behavior changes that add up.
Background and approach
Christina often works with concerns like depression, relationship strain, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to family of origin. Christina uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She leans on client-centered work to honor individual goals.
Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new patterns. Mindfulness practices are used to develop grounding skills for intense moments. In therapy she also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative ideas to clarify values and reshape the stories people tell about themselves.
That can be useful for career decisions, codependency, and recovery from trauma or abandonment wounds. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and the steps that make change realistic. Christina speaks English and sees clients in Louisiana.
She supports people affected by ADHD, compassion fatigue, body image concerns, and blended family stress. Her style is warm, practical, and collaborative, with attention to small wins that build confidence over time.

Approaches that guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead so therapy fits what matters most to them. It helps people clarify goals and gain confidence by working at their own pace.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It offers concrete exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can ease anxiety, depression, and anger.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce overwhelm. These techniques can help in moments of strong emotion and support long-term stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. That way sessions stay practical and relevant to everyday life.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be used when video is not convenient, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins or when typing helps express thoughts. These options give flexibility for scheduling, shorter check-ins, and different ways to practice skills between sessions.
