About Christina
Christina Dolese is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with four years of clinical experience. She sees adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, parenting strains, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and blended family issues among other concerns.
Christina uses straightforward, person-focused sessions. She listens to what is happening now and helps people identify practical steps they can try between meetings. Sessions often include talking through patterns, learning emotional regulation skills, and practicing clearer communication.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and test unhelpful thinking, and Mindfulness Therapy to practice present-moment attention. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy also shape how she helps people set goals and reframe difficult stories about themselves.
Christina pays attention to how family history, attachment, and past losses affect current relationships. She supports people working through divorce, separation, blended household challenges, and caregiving stress. Conversations focus on realistic changes a person can try at home and ways to manage intense feelings.
Her style is direct and practical. Expect clear options, short-term tools, and a focus on skills you can use right away. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the LCSW scope for practice in Louisiana.
How her therapeutic approaches fit online
Christina blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward ways. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist follows the person's concerns and priorities, offering reflection and support to help clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to test new ways of acting and thinking.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to build attention to present-moment experience and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices can help with anxiety, stress, and managing strong emotions in everyday life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Christina will work with the client to identify what feels most useful, adjust techniques if something is not working, and set short-term goals to track progress together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy schedule easier, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is hard to arrange. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and mindfulness practices to remote meetings so clients can practice tools between sessions.
