About Christina
Christina Turner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama. She draws on five years of counseling experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. Christina identifies as an LGBTQIA+ ally and works to make clients feel heard and respected from the first session.
Her approach starts with building an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them. She listens for each person's priorities and tailors sessions around practical steps that fit their life. Clients can expect clear, supportive conversation and collaborative goal-setting.
Christina uses several approaches that focus on present challenges and skill-building. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness techniques teach ways to notice stress and respond with more calm and intention.
She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person's perspective central, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when feelings feel overwhelming. These methods are used flexibly to match what a person needs that week.
Christina has worked with concerns across mood, trauma, relationship strain, identity questions, substance use, and coping with major life changes. She encourages people to take therapy at their own pace and to try strategies between sessions to see what helps most.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy when helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and practicing new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the client's own concerns and goals at the forefront. That means the therapist and client decide together which methods to try and which goals to set. Figuring out the right approach is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people choose online work because it can fit into a busy day, avoid travel time, and allow easier scheduling around work or medical appointments. Online sessions can also make it simpler to maintain continuity when life gets disrupted, while letting the therapist and client focus on practical skills and goals that can be used between meetings.
