About Christina
Christina Turner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama with five years of counseling experience. She uses a warm, person-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. Christina is also an LGBTQ ally and is experienced supporting people facing trauma, self-esteem struggles, and career challenges.
Christina creates a calm space where clients can speak openly about difficult feelings. She emphasizes listening first, then works with each person to set realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and grounded in day-to-day change rather than technical jargon. Her approach draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. That mix helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and build steadier moods over time.
Dialectical skills are used when emotions run high and steadying tools are needed. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, addiction, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and adjustment after major life changes. Additional focus areas include body image, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and navigating alternative sex cultures like kink and BDSM.
Christina aims to partner with clients rather than tell them what to do. She helps people figure out which steps feel doable and keeps work focused on what matters most in daily life. If someone is ready to begin, she asks a few questions to match on goals and scheduling.

Combining Client-Focused and Skill-Based Approaches Online
Christina often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered therapy means she listens closely and helps clients set the direction of their work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems like anxiety or anger going. Dialectical behavior therapy adds practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is treated as a team decision. Christina will talk through goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps make sure sessions stay relevant to the client’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions that mirror in-person work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, homework review, or when shorter, more frequent contact helps maintain progress. These options give flexibility to fit sessions into busy days and different routines.
