More about Christina
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I have a Master's in Social Work with 15+ years of experience in the field of mental health and addictions. I am a licensed Clinical Social worker and an Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor. I offer evidenced based interventions in a supportive trauma informed environment that respects your experience. Therapy should feel like a supportive conversation that helps you and your family get your needs met. I have extensive experience working with clients ages 3-98. I am well versed in addressing addiction, mental health issues, family conflict, trauma, and life transitions. I have also worked in a variety of settings including community, school, hospital, homes, with crisis response teams, EMS, and specialty health care groups. I currently own my own private practice with in person and telehealth services. Please give me a call and we will spend some time talking about what you need and how to get you there.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall rating:
Best therapist I’ve ever had! She listens to me, and really gets me. I feel like I am becoming my favorite self, and I love that for me.
Christina is great and always helps me keep things in perspective.
I have met with Dr. Anderson a couple times and enjoy working with her. Our sessions are helpful and going well.
The greatest. Period.
She is very helpful in this process.
She is the first therapist I’ve found that wasn’t interested in diagnosing me. She just cares about working me through the current issues, and providing tips for wellness going forward. Christina is a wonderful human being.
MY therapist has been very open and attentive and extremely understanding. She has really helped me get through some tough times and I have had a great experience with her so far!
Makes me feel understood and helps me see perspectives I hadn't previously thought of.
She is everything I wished I had gotten from therapy when I was younger. She isn’t there to tell me what I should be doing, or when to do it, she’s just there to listen and help me work through the weeds of my mind. I love her and highly recommend her.
Thus far she has been great. Though the response times can be a little off, that's not really her fault. What with the current goings-on in the world and holidays, I'm sure! But, She's been kind, understanding, and feels supportive and willing to help. At the end of the day, just feeling like someone's there and genuinely cares makes things feel easier. I can't complain about her at all.
Christina immediately helped me to feel understood and introduced strategies that are relevant in my every day life! I’m so grateful to her.
Christina is very open and attentive. Not only is she a good listener but she hears you and understands you. And whatever she does not understand she gives you space to explain your needs, feelings and experience.
Christina is great. She keeps our sessions approachable while listening and guiding me with practical ways to manage my anxiety and depression
Working with Christina has been incredibly helpful in addressing my anxiety and depression! Talking was very easy, and didn’t feel heavy (and if you have any experience with therapy that’s often the case), even when discussing past trauma. She has helped me recognise and address my needs, see difficult situations objectively and manage how I feel - there is a long way to go, but I’m finally starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Christina has always made me feel heard and understood. I highly reccomend her and this app.
For the short period of time we’ve had to get to know each other I really like her and feel we have a great connection!
