About Christina
Christina Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She draws on seven years of practice to help people facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her style is straightforward and supportive.
She encourages clients to build on their existing strengths. Christina listens for practical patterns that make daily life harder. She uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills that can be practiced between meetings so progress carries into everyday routines. When trauma or past harm is part of the story, she blends trauma-focused work with solution-oriented strategies. That mix aims to reduce overwhelming memories and teach steps for coping in the present.
She also uses motivational interviewing to help people sort out mixed feelings and move toward goals they truly care about. Christina often helps with family-related stress, communication problems, caregiver strain, and feelings of isolation or shame. She also supports those dealing with panic, self-harm urges, bipolar mood swings, and questions about life purpose.
The work is collaborative - clients set priorities and Christina offers tools and feedback along the way. To begin, she asks people to name a small, concrete goal. Early sessions are used to understand safety, strengths, and what fits into daily life.
This practical focus aims to make therapy feel useful from the start.

Online support
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Christina commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises and small experiments that can be practiced between appointments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach present-moment skills that reduce reactivity and build emotional regulation. Mindfulness exercises are brief and fit well into daily routines, which helps when practicing between sessions. Motivational interviewing is used when someone feels stuck or uncertain; it helps clarify values and increase readiness for change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christina will talk with each person about their goals, history, and what feels most useful. She tailors techniques collaboratively and adjusts the plan as progress or needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for focused conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into busy lives.
