Christina Janiszeski, LPC

Christina Janiszeski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, and life changes. Christina writes in a direct, straightforward way and aims to make first steps toward help feel easier to take.

She uses approaches that honor each person's story rather than applying one fixed method. Sessions center on the person's goals and everyday needs. Christina combines client-centered listening with practical skills to manage mood, stress, and difficult relationships.

Her background includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University and licensure in Minnesota as an LPC. Over a decade she has worked with people facing grief, bipolar struggles, chronic pain and illness, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. That mix of experience shapes a flexible, problem-focused style.

In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and to build new habits. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment coping. Motivational interviewing helps clarify values and support change when people feel stuck.

Christina pays attention to relationship and family of origin patterns, attachment concerns, body image, and issues around codependency and communication. She invites people to bring practical problems and real-life goals, then works alongside them to develop clear, doable steps forward.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy starts by listening to what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around their priorities. Online work using this approach focuses on building a trusting, collaborative rapport and tailoring goals to daily life challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to shift behaviors and mood. In remote sessions this often means setting manageable homework, tracking patterns between meetings, and practicing skills between visits.

Mindfulness techniques help reduce reactivity and bring attention to the present moment. In online sessions this can include short guided exercises, breath work, and strategies to notice and interrupt stress cycles at home or work.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will help figure out what fits based on the client's goals, experiences, and preferences. That means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use brief check-ins when a shorter touchpoint is helpful. Licensed professionals can tailor session rhythm and homework to fit everyday life rather than promising a fixed outcome.
