About Christina

Christina (Crissy) Irrgang-Wade is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota with 11 years of professional experience. She brings a trauma-informed perspective to her work, with specific attention to intergenerational trauma and complex responses to stress. Her practice includes a variety of therapeutic tools, and she is trained in Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - all approaches she adapts to meet the needs of each person who seeks support.

Crissy also integrates Brainspotting, an advanced body-informed technique used to help people process emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, and post-traumatic stress. She works with teens, adults, and elders, offering targeted support for issues such as anger management, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Her clinical background includes many years of experience working with Native American communities and familiarity with Ojibwe cultural perspectives.

Known for a patient, understanding, and nonjudgmental manner, she emphasizes clients as experts in their own stories and builds on existing strengths. Crissy aims to empower people to take courageous steps toward more fulfilling and meaningful lives, providing support, validation, and practical strategies tailored to individual goals and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christina (Crissy) Irrgang-Wade integrates several therapeutic approaches to meet a range of needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting the individual's own goals, helping people build confidence and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thought and behavior, offering practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) addresses emotional bonds and attachment patterns, which can be helpful for relationship difficulties and healing around interpersonal pain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Crissy works with clients to explore which methods feel most helpful given their symptoms, life circumstances, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. The goal is to align therapeutic tools with each person's values and goals rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into a busy life. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling, let people meet with a licensed professional from home or while traveling within the same region, and allow ongoing contact between sessions when appropriate to support continuity of care.
