About Christina
Christina Burnett is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, substance use concerns, and major life changes. She brings a practical, down-to-earth approach and aims to build a collaborative relationship. Christina speaks English and practices from Pennsylvania.
She uses client-centered methods to listen closely and make care feel grounded in each person’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her work, helping people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing is used to support change when someone feels stuck or ambivalent. Christina began her counseling career in community mental health and substance abuse treatment. Early work included advocacy for adults involved with criminal and family courts.
That background shaped her focus on practical coping skills for legal, workplace, and life-transition stressors. She completed a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Penn State University and earned a master’s degree in social work from the University of New England. Christina earned her Pennsylvania Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and has been practicing for about 12 years.
In sessions she aims to help people reduce symptoms of depression, panic, post-traumatic stress, and process or substance-related addictions. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, codependency, communication or control issues, guilt, and low self-esteem. Her style is collaborative and solution-minded: she listens first, then works with clients to try behavioral tools, motivation-building techniques, and reflection on deeper patterns when useful.
The goal is clearer coping skills and more workable daily routines.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. In practice this means the therapist offers empathy, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, and patterns that feed anger or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. She may start with practical CBT tools, add motivational techniques to support change, and use client-centered conversations to explore deeper patterns when it seems useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day - phone or chat can be a shorter check-in, video allows face-to-face interaction, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. The range of formats gives flexibility for people managing work, caregiving, or travel while staying engaged in therapy.
