About Christina

Christina Wynkoop is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 15 years of experience. She focuses on common struggles such as anxiety, stress, depression, and panic disorder and works to help people feel steadier and more in control. Christina aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for people seeking help.

Her background includes substantial work with trauma, mood concerns, and family-related difficulties. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. Those approaches guide how she helps people understand patterns, manage symptoms, and try new ways of coping.

Christina keeps a direct and respectful style in sessions. She listens first, then helps people look at their choices and options. Her approach is collaborative - she supports people as they decide what changes to try and how to move forward.

She also addresses issues like grief, anger, ADHD, parenting strain, relationship stress, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Christina helps people untangle complicated life events such as divorce, adoption and foster care experiences, blended family challenges, and past domestic violence.

People who prefer clear, practical steps alongside emotional support may find her helpful. She emphasizes encouragement and realistic goals while honoring each person’s pace and values. To begin, choose the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How Christina’s approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. It helps when someone needs acceptance and space to sort out feelings without pressure.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It offers concrete strategies to reduce worry, panic symptoms, and unhelpful habits by practicing new habits between sessions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people understand how past events affect current reactions. It combines careful pacing with grounding and coping techniques to reduce intense reactions over time.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Adjustments are made as progress unfolds so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join sessions from quieter surroundings, choose whether or not to use video, and schedule meetings around work or caregiving responsibilities.
