About Christina

Christina Anderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience in mental health and addictions. She focuses on straightforward, practical conversations that help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and life changes. Christina’s approach centers on listening first and helping people find workable next steps.

She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered work to help people notice what matters to them and act on it. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused methods appear in sessions when people want clear goals and short-term gains. Christina also draws on Jungian ideas when exploring deeper meaning and patterns for those who find that helpful.

Her background includes work in community agencies, schools, hospitals, homes, crisis response teams, EMS, and specialty health care groups. That range has shaped a practical style that fits urgent needs and longer-term recovery alike. She describes therapy as a supportive conversation that helps people and their families get needs met.

Christina has experience across the lifespan, from children to older adults, and has worked with issues such as trauma, family conflict, grief, and addiction. She notes additional focus areas including first responder issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, HIV/AIDS, and men’s issues.

Her practice is based in Indiana. Sessions are offered in English. Christina currently runs a private practice and provides both in-person and telehealth services. Prospective clients are encouraged to discuss goals and scheduling during an initial call.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Christina often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on attentive listening and empathy, giving people space to make sense of their experience and choose their own direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christina will work with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change as work progresses.

Christina offers telehealth services as part of her private practice. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time, or check in during a short break. They also support ongoing work after an initial in-person visit when that fits the client’s needs.
