About Christina

Christina Cannon is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, panic disorder and panic attacks, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, and big life changes. She writes and talks plainly, and aims to make hard conversations feel possible. Christina draws on a mix of practical techniques and warm, direct conversation to help people find clearer footing.

Christina spent five years in clinical practice and more than five years working in active-duty mental health. That combined background shaped a style that balances structure with flexibility. Sessions can include goal setting, skill building, and time to talk through painful memories or current stresses when those feel important.

She often focuses on practical tools for managing intense feelings, improving relationships, and adjusting after difficult events. That work can include looking at patterns that hold someone back, practicing new ways to cope, and building routines that support daily functioning. Christina pays attention to what each person needs in the moment and adjusts her approach accordingly.

Christina values direct communication and a light touch when appropriate. She aims to create a space where thoughts and feelings can be named without judgment. Her background includes supporting people affected by domestic violence, addiction, family problems, and first responder stress.

People who choose Christina can expect a collaborative pace. She invites questions, feedback, and a sharing of responsibility for progress. The first step is a short matching process to get connected and plan next steps.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Christina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use right away. One common approach emphasizes learning concrete coping skills for intense emotions and panic attacks, such as grounding, breathing strategies, and stepwise exposure to feared sensations. These practices help people reduce immediate distress and gradually increase confidence facing triggers.

Another approach concentrates on identifying patterns in relationships and attachment that affect mood and self-worth. This work involves noticing repeated behaviors, practicing new ways of communicating, and repairing difficult interactions to reduce isolation and shame.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helping and what is not.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, avoid travel, and check in from a convenient location. Different formats can also mean shorter check-ins when time is limited, fewer technical demands when bandwidth is low, or options that don’t require being on camera. Ask about session length and scheduling during the matching process so sessions match your routine.
