About Christina
Christina Burnett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who centers sessions on the person in front of her. She uses a client-centered style and practical strategies to help people handle stress, anxiety, panic attacks, and relationship strain. Christina writes plainly and works collaboratively to find workable steps a person can use right away.
She earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Penn State University and completed a master’s degree in social work at the University of New England. Christina began counseling in 2015 in community mental health and substance abuse settings, assisting adults involved with criminal and family courts. That early work shaped her focus on real-life problems and practical support.
Christina completed clinical supervision and became a Pennsylvania LCSW in 2020. She also holds a Level One certification in cognitive behavioral therapy from the National Association of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists. Over 12 years she has helped adults facing depression, anxiety, substance use concerns, and the stress that comes with work and legal challenges.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and Jungian ideas within a client-centered frame. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with an emphasis on building coping skills and clearer communication. Christina aims to help people make steady changes that improve day-to-day functioning.
She works with adults seeking help for issues such as panic disorder and panic attacks, addiction, attachment concerns, workplace stress, and self-esteem problems. People who want direct feedback and practical tools may find her approach useful.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering support and feedback to help people set meaningful goals and try new ways of coping.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, and stress by breaking problems into teachable steps and testing small changes.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest ways to proceed. Decisions about techniques and pacing happen together so the work fits what the person wants.
Confirm available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care across life changes while focusing on skill-building and real-world problem solving.
