Christina Johnson

Christina Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, trauma and abuse, and depression. Christina frames clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on during work together.

She listens for what matters most and helps people name the patterns that get in the way. Sessions often focus on practical steps to manage strong feelings, reduce reactivity, and improve day-to-day functioning. Christina encourages small experiments between sessions so people can try new ways of coping and see what works for them.

Her background includes many years supporting people through family conflict and the lingering effects of trauma. She also helps with relationship communication, caregiver strain, and issues tied to attachment and post-traumatic stress. Her experience includes work with people who identify with intellectual disability and autism and Asperger Syndrome when those concerns are part of the picture.

Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work while centering each person’s goals. She believes the first step takes courage, and she aims to make follow-up steps clearer and more doable. Those who want to begin can expect a collaborative approach that focuses on concrete change.

To get started, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Evidence-based approaches for online care and strong emotions

Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional regulation. One common approach emphasizes learning concrete skills to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive reactions; this helps people practice calmer responses when anger or anxiety rises. Another approach centers on processing the effects of trauma and abuse through paced, supportive conversations that aim to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they test what helps most and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoid being on camera when that feels better. Many people find that regular online sessions still let them learn and practice skills effectively while fitting therapy into everyday routines.
