About Christina
Christina Mossaad is an AASW counsellor who focuses on practical support for people dealing with anxiety and life stress. She approaches clients with warmth and simple strategies. She aims to help people feel steadier and more able to cope with everyday pressures.
Christina uses a mix of evidence-based approaches to suit each person. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people live by their values. Mindfulness skills and techniques from dialectical behaviour therapy are used to build calm and emotional balance.
Her work is rooted in the belief that people are the experts on their lives. She helps people notice strengths they already have and use those strengths to make small, manageable changes. Sessions are conversational and focused on real-life steps rather than abstract theory.
Christina has five years of direct therapeutic experience. Before this she worked in other professional roles for many years, bringing practical knowledge about systems and supports into sessions. This background helps when people are trying to navigate changes at home or work.
People contact Christina for help with panic attacks, general anxiety, stress from parenting or caregiving, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She also supports issues like attachment difficulties, body image, grief, and post-traumatic stress. Her style is steady, patient, and oriented to practical outcomes that fit everyday life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values while learning to accept hard thoughts and feelings. It suits people who want to reduce the impact of anxiety and panic on daily life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and is useful for managing panic attacks, social anxiety and ongoing worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help when connection, trust or boundary issues cause distress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different strategies to see what fits. Clients and the therapist work together to shape the plan and adjust it as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try different tools like mindfulness exercises and behavioural tasks between sessions, helping practice new skills in everyday routines.
