About Christina
Christina Anderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience in mental health and addictions. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, parenting strain, and life transitions. Christina lists family and parenting among her focus areas and supports people coping with relationship stress and household challenges.
She uses practical, conversational approaches rather than formal lectures. Sessions focus on concrete goals, everyday coping skills, and looking at patterns that affect mood and behavior. Christina draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify values and take workable steps forward.
Her background includes community, school, hospital, home-based care, crisis response teams, EMS, and specialty health settings. That variety informs how she adapts strategies to different life demands. She has worked with people across the lifespan and notes experience with addiction, trauma, and major life changes.
Christina runs a private practice based in Indiana and provides telehealth services. She is licensed as an LCSW in Texas and Indiana - TX LCSW and IN LCSW. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
Many people come to her to address substance use, family tension, parenting stress, or recurring anxiety and mood problems. She explains treatment options, helps set short-term goals, and works with each person to find practical next steps that fit everyday life.
How sessions work
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most to them and take small actions that reflect those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where finding direction matters. Motivational Interviewing focuses on increasing a person's own motivation to change, often used in addiction work and when someone feels stuck about making changes.Christina treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest methods that fit those aims. Over a few sessions she adjusts the plan based on what is helpful and practical for day-to-day life.
The profile notes she offers telehealth services through her private practice, but it does not list specific session formats here. Confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or parenting schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and Motivational Interviewing to remote sessions so work on values, coping skills, and motivation can continue between appointments.
