About Christina

Christina Willis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oklahoma. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and supports those facing depression, addiction, grief, and big life changes. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at practical steps people can use right away.

She often works with concerns tied to relationships and self-image, such as attachment struggles, codependency, and communication problems. In sessions she helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck, then tries simple alternatives that fit daily life. That might mean short experiments, shifting unhelpful thoughts, or trying new ways to ask for what they need.

Christina uses client-centered methods that prioritize a person’s own goals and strengths. She combines that with cognitive behavioral tools to spot thinking traps, plus motivational interviewing to support change and solution-focused ideas to set clear, achievable steps. These approaches are mixed to match each person’s situation.

Her work includes support for drug and alcohol addiction, impulsivity, shame and guilt, loneliness, and the search for life purpose. She also helps people dealing with midlife shifts, family tension, and feelings of emptiness. Sessions aim to build resilience and practical skills rather than rely on abstract theory.

With five years of clinical experience, Christina emphasizes collaboration. She helps people identify what matters most, choose manageable goals, and track progress over time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Christina’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person’s own strengths. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, asks curious questions, and helps people clarify what matters most to them. It is useful for stress, relationship struggles, and making big life decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence behavior and mood. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral changes to see what helps. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress reactions.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. Christina will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and comfort level. She checks in about what helps and adjusts plans as needed so therapy stays practical and focused on progress.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats also require less bandwidth or no video, which can suit different daily routines. Ask about the available session formats when you schedule to find what fits your needs.
