Christina Briggs , LCSW

Christina Briggs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of professional experience. She practices in Mississippi and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns.

She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Christina uses clear language to help clients understand patterns that keep them stuck and to try new ways of coping. She encourages small steps that can add up to real change.

Her approach centers on building a trusting space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Christina listens for what matters most to each person and then works together to set realistic goals. She emphasizes skills people can use between sessions to handle difficult moments.

Christina draws on methods from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness. Those tools help with managing anxiety, coping with cravings, and improving emotional regulation. She tailors techniques to each person’s situation rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

People often seek her help for family conflict, relationship transitions, abandonment concerns, and challenges linked to chronic illness or grief. Christina also supports people facing substance use problems, eating and food-related issues, and feelings of emptiness. Her style is steady, compassionate, and focused on practical progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Christina uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves setting small, achievable tasks and tracking progress to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT tools can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when patterns of impulsive behavior cause problems.

Mindfulness practices are introduced to help clients notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. Mindfulness can support stress reduction and increase present-moment coping during difficult situations.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Christina will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules - video for face-to-face conversation, phone for lower bandwidth, chat for quick check-ins, and messaging for brief ongoing support. Many people find this range makes it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and medical commitments.
