Christina Briggs, LCSW

Christina Briggs is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of practice. She is based in Mississippi and draws on experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, trauma, and self-esteem concerns.

Christina focuses on building a straightforward, welcoming space in sessions. She encourages open talk about thoughts and feelings and avoids judgment. The first conversations are often about what feels most urgent and practical steps people can try between meetings.

Her work commonly uses clear, skills-based approaches. Christina helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, practice emotion regulation skills, and bring mindful awareness into daily life. She aims to translate therapeutic ideas into small, doable changes that can reduce distress day to day.

Christina also addresses longer-standing issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, chronic pain or illness, codependency, and relationship transitions like divorce or blended family challenges. She supports people facing substance misuse, eating concerns, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness as part of broader care.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. Christina emphasizes empowerment and practical coping skills while listening for the story behind symptoms. People who want down-to-earth guidance and steady support may find her approach helpful.

How Christina’s approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and low mood by teaching straightforward techniques to change thinking and behavior.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help people who struggle with strong emotions, impulsive behavior, or recurring relationship conflicts.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple awareness practices. It supports people coping with chronic pain, persistent worry, and stress by building steadier attention and kind acceptance of experience.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That choice can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and options for shorter check-ins when a quick support touchpoint is needed. The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate being able to try sessions that fit around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while focusing on skills and coping strategies that translate to everyday routines.
