About Christina
Christina Secrets is a California LMFT with 11 years of clinical experience working with adults. She sees people for stress, anxiety, addictions, career changes, and coaching needs, and lists blended family issues among her additional focuses.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort next steps. Sessions often begin with practical goals and a look at what gets in the way of those goals. She offers tools to manage guilt, shame, and the emotional fallout of substance use concerns.
Christina helps clients who are juggling caregiving demands or strained family ties. She talks through communication problems, how blended household routines collide, and ways to rebuild trust after conflict. Work can include setting boundaries, clarifying roles, and planning realistic changes that fit day-to-day life.
When career stress or a transition is on the table, she focuses on decisions and momentum. Clients explore values, practical steps, and ways to reduce anxiety so choices feel clearer. Recovery work looks at relapse risk, coping skills, and repairing relationships affected by substance use.
Her style is direct and respectful. Sessions aim to identify small, practical shifts clients can test between visits. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Christina describes her work as rooted in clear, evidence-based techniques. She emphasizes practical skills for managing anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step coping strategies that reduce overwhelm and help people make clearer choices. She also focuses on approaches for addiction recovery that prioritize relapse prevention, building routines, and handling triggers in everyday situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to choose techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. That means testing methods and adjusting plans so tools are useful between sessions rather than only in the room.
The biography does not specify which online formats she uses, so confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule regular meetings around work or caregiving duties, avoid travel time, and use short check-ins when days get busy. It can also let clients try out skills in real time and review progress between sessions, which helps the day-to-day changes stick.
