Christina Mayhaus, LPC, LMHC

Christina Mayhaus is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 16 years in the field. She practices from Ohio and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and related concerns. Christina aims to match therapy to each person’s needs rather than asking them to fit a single method.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Cincinnati and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Xavier University. Over the years she has supported children, teens, young adults, and adults in a range of settings. That experience shapes how she listens and plans next steps with clients.

Christina focuses on helping people manage emotional overwhelm, build self-esteem, and navigate life transitions. She also addresses issues common after hurtful experiences, including guilt, shame, and post-traumatic stress. LGBTQ needs and communication struggles are part of her regular work.

In sessions she centers the client’s goals and adjusts techniques to match what a person needs. Conversations are practical and goal-directed, with attention to small steps that lead to change. Progress and goals are reviewed together so therapy stays relevant.

People who value a straightforward, collaborative approach often find her style helpful. Christina’s background combines long-term clinical work and training in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Prospective clients can expect clear communication about goals and an emphasis on steady growth.

Approaches that guide online care

Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is problem-focused work that helps people manage anxiety and daily stress through skill practice and step-by-step plans. This style teaches specific tools to lower overwhelm and improve coping for everyday life.

Another approach centers on processing traumatic experiences in a paced way so upsetting memories lose some of their intensity. This helps with post-traumatic stress, guilt, and shame by guiding people through gradual shifts in their responses to those memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then recommend methods that fit. That collaborative decision-making helps shape a plan people can use between sessions as well as during them.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Different formats can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a break at work, or a phone session may be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals generally find online care can reduce travel time and help people keep consistent appointments, making steady progress more achievable.
