About Christina

Christina DeAngelis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people find clearer ground when life feels overwhelming. She focuses on practical steps for stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, and career worries. Christina works with each person to set realistic goals and move toward them at a steady pace.

Christina uses short, direct conversations and planning to help people manage difficult feelings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and Mindfulness Therapy to build calm in daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide work on closeness and connection when relationships feel strained.

In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps clients try new strategies between meetings. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Motivational Interviewing techniques when someone needs help finding momentum. The focus is on small, manageable changes rather than big overnight fixes.

Her practice perspective is practical and respectful. Christina emphasizes collaborative planning so people understand each step. She works from Pennsylvania as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

People often come with grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, compassion fatigue, or challenges around money and purpose. Christina supports work on communication problems, forgiveness, shame, jealousy, and the stresses of caregiving and aging. She aims to help people build steadier coping and clearer priorities.

To begin, she invites a conversation about current goals and what would feel most helpful. The approach is adaptable to short-term problem solving or longer-term personal work depending on each person’s needs.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Christina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and problem-solving at work or in relationships. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people understand and shift patterns in close relationships, which can be helpful for intimacy-related concerns and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina treats the choice of methods as collaborative and adjusts based on a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She will discuss which techniques to try and check in regularly to see what is helping and what needs to change.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for quicker check-ins on high-stress days. It can also make it simpler to practice skills between sessions in the places where daily life happens. Licensed professionals can adapt tools like CBT worksheets, emotion regulation exercises, and motivational strategies to an online setting to keep progress moving forward.
