About Christina

Christina Harrison is licensed in California and brings eight years of professional clinical experience along with six years of prior work as a paraprofessional in addiction treatment. She is an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and applies that training to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low motivation, struggles with self esteem and confidence, and depression.

Christina creates an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored and understood. She emphasizes collaboration and practical steps, helping each person identify goals and build the skills needed to move toward a more fulfilling life. Her background in addiction treatment informs a compassionate approach to recovery and related challenges.

Recognizing that seeking help takes courage, Christina offers steady support throughout the process of change. She works with clients to develop coping strategies, strengthen interpersonal connections, and restore a sense of agency and wellbeing as they navigate difficult experiences and transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christina Harrison integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR to address a range of concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and early bonds to help people understand how past connections shape present feelings and behaviors, which can be especially helpful for abandonment and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, offering clear tools for anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR is used to process traumatic memories by pairing guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation with structured recall, which can reduce the intensity of trauma-related distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adjust techniques over time so the work remains responsive to what is most helpful.

Online therapy with Christina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options for scheduling and communication. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, access care from home, and maintain continuity of support with licensed professionals and therapists who can meet a variety of needs.
