Christina Figueroa

Christina Figueroa is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, hands-on support for people facing life changes. She draws on 15 years of experience to help clients manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and challenges such as ADHD and eating concerns. Christina uses plain language in sessions and helps people identify concrete next steps they can try between meetings.

She believes clients know their own story and that therapy is a collaborative effort. Sessions typically include moment-to-moment problem solving and skill building. Christina aims to make the work feel doable rather than overwhelming, and she emphasizes small changes that add up over time.

Her approach blends several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices, to address unhelpful thinking and build more stable routines. Christina also incorporates skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation or intense stress is present. Trauma-focused techniques are used carefully when past events affect day-to-day functioning.

She supports people coping with relationship strain, identity questions within the LGBT community, anger, bipolar mood challenges, and the stress of caregiving or family conflict. Christina helps people sort priorities and set short-term goals that match their values.

Sessions are available in English and Spanish. Christina works from Florida and uses a subscription model for scheduling that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients complete a short questionnaire to get matched and then schedule a first appointment based on therapist availability.

How Christina’s approaches adapt to online work

Christina combines cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help people manage symptoms and respond to life changes. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to lower stress and improve focus.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotional intensity is high, teaching practical skills for regulating emotions and improving responses to conflict. Together these approaches aim to give concrete tools rather than abstract explanations, and Christina will work with each person to decide which methods feel most useful.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christina treats therapy as a collaboration and helps clients choose techniques based on their goals, day-to-day needs, and preferences. She checks in about what is or isn’t helping and adapts the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can also use brief skills sessions or longer therapy appointments to match what someone needs that week.
