About Christina

Christina Ashby is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and grief. She draws on 12 years of experience and centers each session on the person's strengths and goals. Christina welcomes conversations that include a client’s spiritual beliefs when that is important to the person seeking help.

She offers direct, practical guidance and encourages people to notice small changes that build over time. Sessions focus on clarifying what matters to the client, identifying obstacles, and practicing skills that can reduce distress in daily life. Christina uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors, and she brings in mindfulness practices to help with emotion regulation.

For relationship concerns she incorporates methods from the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy to improve communication and rebuild trust. Christina also works with people dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, eating issues, parenting stress, workplace problems, and complex grief. She pays attention to cultural context and has experience with first responder and veteran concerns.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Christina asks about strengths, supports, and any medical or mental health history that affects current well-being. People who want to begin are asked to provide basic background information and schedule through the therapist platform.

Christina notes that she sees clients while they are physically located in Texas. She emphasizes that healing can be messy and that she will stay alongside people as they sort through difficult changes.

How these approaches translate to online work

Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants clear steps to test different ways of thinking and acting.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices to help people manage intense emotions, reduce reactivity, and build distress-tolerance strategies. These tools can be helpful for overwhelming moments and for improving everyday coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily routines and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is made together and can change as needs evolve.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can also adapt exercises and mindfulness practices for a remote setting so people can practice skills between visits.
