Christinia McCollum

Christinia McCollum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. She emphasizes that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work of change.

Christinia frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens first, then helps people name goals and try practical steps to feel better. She encourages small, realistic changes and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions.

Her background includes five years of professional counseling experience in Alabama. During that time she has worked with concerns such as impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, seasonal affective disorder, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses issues around forgiveness, self-harm thoughts, self-love, social anxiety, and veteran and armed forces issues.

In sessions she focuses on what is useful right now and what can change over time. She helps people develop coping skills for strong emotions, practice new ways of responding, and build routines that reduce stress. The aim is to make everyday life feel more manageable.

Christinia asks curious questions and offers practical tools rather than quick fixes. She recognizes reaching out for help takes courage and meets people with steady support as they move toward their goals.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Christinia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions and life changes. One common approach focuses on building practical coping skills for anxiety and anger, teaching breathing or grounding exercises and step-by-step ways to interrupt impulsive reactions. Another technique emphasizes trauma-informed strategies that help people process distressing experiences at a pace they can handle and reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as progress is made. Clients help shape the plan, and the approach may change as new challenges or strengths appear.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work may make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid commuting, or maintain continuity when circumstances change.
