About Christina

Christina McGinn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people build assertiveness and cope with life’s challenges. Christina draws on a mix of practical approaches to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship concerns.

She has worked in crisis services, corrections, independent practice, and community programs. That range gives her experience with diverse problems like addiction, grief, mood issues, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Christina also supports people navigating identity and intimacy-related struggles, parenting stress, and career transitions. In sessions she uses Motivational Interviewing to encourage change and increase personal motivation. She also brings elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to teach skills for emotion regulation and present-moment awareness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Christina’s approach is warm, supportive, and encouraging. She works collaboratively to set clear goals and small steps clients can try between sessions.

Practical coping skills and short-term strategies are emphasized alongside longer-term growth. People who value a direct but compassionate counselor tend to find her helpful. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

Sessions are conducted in English and organized around the client’s needs and preferences.

Approaches Christina lists

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

Approaches that translate to online work

Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques in online sessions. CBT helps people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that maintain stress or mood problems, often using concrete exercises and homework. DBT offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, which can be practiced during calls or messages.

She also incorporates Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and boost readiness. That approach focuses on open conversation and setting small, achievable goals together. Christina will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their situation and goals rather than prescribing one path up front.

Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make regular work easier to fit into life. Video is useful when face-to-face interaction helps, phone can be quicker when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options let people practice skills, review exercises, and adjust plans without commuting, which can help keep progress steady.
