About Christina

Christina Janiszeski is a Licensed Professional Counselor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. She writes plainly and listens closely to each person's story. Her approach focuses on the immediate concerns that make daily life harder, such as difficulty with relationships, anger, or coping with loss.

She trained at Regis University and holds LPC credentials. Over a decade of clinical work has centered on mental health and substance use concerns. That experience includes supporting people facing attachment struggles, chronic illness or pain, body image worries, and addiction-related problems.

Christina uses methods that fit the person rather than a single formula. She blends Trauma-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to match what someone needs in the moment. Sessions may include practical skills, reframing anxious thoughts, and space to process painful events.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She helps clients set realistic goals and practices skills between meetings. She also offers coaching-style support for career or life-change decisions.

People often come for help with grief, stress, ADHD-related struggles, compassion fatigue, or family-of-origin issues. Christina works to reduce shame, improve communication, and build coping tools so daily routines feel more manageable.

How Christina’s approaches translate to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process past painful events in a paced way, focusing on reducing the power those memories have over daily life. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities, offering listening and reflection to help someone make sense of problems and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with hands-on exercises and homework to change patterns that keep problems going.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christina collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress continues. This decision-making is shared, gradual, and revisited as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so someone can focus on skill practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions like CBT exercises or trauma processing to a remote setting, keeping sessions practical and focused on what helps day to day.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
