About Christina
She trained at the master’s level in counseling psychology and psychotherapy and has worked in a range of settings. That experience includes hospital mental health units, college counseling, services for unemployed people, and work with incarcerated individuals. Those roles helped her learn how to respond in crisis and to respect diversity in many forms.
Christina’s approach blends client-centered care with trauma-focused and existential perspectives. She uses practical, brain-informed techniques alongside mindful practices and hypnotherapy tools when appropriate. Sessions are meant to be collaborative and aimed at small, manageable change rather than quick fixes.
People turn to her for stress, anxiety, trauma and grief, as well as relationship and family concerns. Christina also supports those dealing with addiction, sleep or eating problems, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to attachment, abandonment, and family-of-origin patterns that often shape current struggles.
She offers therapy in English and Greek and accepts international clients. The first step is a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling. Christina focuses on listening first and helping people find clear, realistic next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Christina uses trauma-focused therapy to help people process past harm in a paced way that reduces overwhelm and builds coping skills. Trauma-focused work here aims to help clients name difficult experiences, manage strong emotions, and practice grounding strategies that feel doable.She also draws on client-centered therapy, which centers the person’s own goals and pace. That means the therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps guide practical next steps based on each person’s needs. Existential therapy appears in her work as well, helping people find meaning and make values-based choices when life feels confusing.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Christina collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. She will check in about what helps and adjust the plan as sessions progress.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for simpler check-ins when people need quick support. They can also work well for practicing mindfulness or grounding skills between in-person visits.
