About Christina
Christina Briggs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of practice based in Mississippi. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Christina also works with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, blended family stress, and substance use concerns.
Her approach focuses on practical conversation and skill building. Sessions are a place to talk through what is happening now and figure out small, doable steps forward. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thinking, and on DBT skills for emotion regulation and coping when feelings run high.
Christina includes mindfulness techniques to help with staying present and reducing reactivity. She pays attention to how family roles and past losses shape current relationships. Many people find it useful when work centers on concrete skills they can try between sessions.
She has experience with aging and geriatric issues, chronic pain or illness, codependency, commitment concerns, and relationship breakups. Christina also lists experience with eating and food‑related issues, dissociation, and disruptive mood concerns. Her background gives a broad practical base for addressing everyday problems at home.

How sessions work
How Christina applies CBT, DBT and mindfulness online
CBT helps people notice and change thinking patterns that make stress and anxiety worse. In session it means identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing small behavior changes to test new ways of coping. DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. That can be useful when feelings become overwhelming or relationships are strained. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build steadier focus.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will discuss what feels most useful based on a person's current problems, goals, and preferences. She typically blends techniques so sessions include both short skills practice and time to talk through what is happening in daily life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, or medical care because there is less travel time and scheduling can be more flexible. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or phone-only meetings when that helps with bandwidth or camera needs.
