Christina Johnson

Christina Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She brings 14 years of experience supporting people who face stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and depression. Christina emphasizes a respectful, down-to-earth approach and encourages people to recognize their own strengths when they begin therapy.

She starts by listening to each person's story and asking what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical steps that reduce day-to-day strain and improve coping. Christina helps people talk through family conflict, communication breakdowns, and ongoing caregiver stress in straightforward terms.

Her work includes attention to attachment concerns, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people affected by autism spectrum traits and intellectual disability, keeping goals realistic and concrete. Her style aims to make suggestions simple to use between sessions.

Christina values collaboration. She helps clients set clear, achievable goals and checks progress regularly. She sees therapy as a joint effort where the client's experience guides the direction of work.

Practical matters are part of her approach. Christina helps people build new strategies for managing anger, reducing anxiety, and coping with grief or emptiness. She encourages small, steady changes that add up over time.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online care

Christina works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps people can use in daily life. One common approach emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and anger, teaching breathing, grounding, and simple behavioral strategies to reduce reactivity and improve communication. This helps when strong feelings are getting in the way of relationships or daily tasks.

Another approach centers on coping with anxiety and stress by breaking problems into manageable pieces. It uses short, structured exercises and goal-setting to build confidence and reduce avoidance. This can be useful for worries, overwhelm, and routine stressors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will listen to each person's needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. She checks in and adjusts the plan based on what helps and what doesn’t, so the process stays collaborative.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy day. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions adapted to lower bandwidth when needed, making it simpler to keep therapy consistent alongside everyday life.
