About Christina

Christina Briggs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Mississippi with 10 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. Christina also focuses on issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and relationship patterns like codependency and commitment worries.

Her style is direct and practical. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns, and trying specific skills to change unhelpful reactions. Christina uses straightforward tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness to build coping skills and improve day-to-day functioning.

Christina aims to make therapy a place where thoughts and feelings can be said out loud without judgment. She works with clients to set realistic goals and small steps toward them. Expect focused conversations, strategy suggestions, and practice between sessions.

She brings experience from work across stress, trauma, and addictive behaviors, and she applies that background to problems that come up in blended households. That includes navigating loyalty conflicts, adjusting to new caregiving roles, and managing tensions between partners and ex-partners.

Practical matters are part of her approach. Christina discusses what is working, what isn’t, and adjusts plans as needed. People who prefer clear tools and a problem-solving focus tend to find this approach helpful.

How Christina’s approaches translate to online work

Christina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves practical exercises and homework that help with anxiety, stress, and addictive patterns. It focuses on clear steps to test new behaviors.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. DBT techniques can be useful for intense emotions, relationship conflict, and impulse-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity through simple attention practices.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that fit their goals and day-to-day life. She reviews what helps and adapts tools over time so the plan reflects current needs and preferences.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, appointments, or childcare by removing travel time and enabling shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to practice skills in real-life contexts and bring those experiences back into sessions for discussion.
