About Christina
Christina Figueroa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating and body image issues, stress, relationship matters, grief, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Christina uses practical, skills-based approaches to help people manage strong feelings and day-to-day challenges. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to pinpoint thoughts and behaviors that fuel distress. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to build coping strategies for emotional overwhelm.
Mindfulness techniques are part of her work, helping people notice reactions and make different choices in the moment. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set clear, achievable goals and identify small steps forward. Trauma-Focused Therapy is available when past events are affecting current functioning.
In sessions, Christina listens for strengths and builds on them. She talks through specific strategies for dealing with anger, workplace stress, and relationship tension. Practical tools, short experiments, and skill practice are common parts of her approach.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and are managed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.
How sessions work
How Christina integrates approaches for online work
Christina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thought patterns and behaviors that keep anger and stress active. CBT focuses on small experiments and practical changes, which can reduce reactivity over time.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills give concrete tools to use during heated moments and in ongoing relationship stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christina will work collaboratively to match techniques to each person's goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts plans based on what a person reports in sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills in real-life settings and bring immediate questions back into the next meeting.
