Christina Harrison , LCSW

Christina Harrison is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy questions, grief, parenting strains, body image concerns, and LGBT-related issues. Christina writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters to each person.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She aims to create an open setting where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Christina works with clients to set clear goals and practical steps. She treats the process as a collaboration rather than a lecture.

Christina uses approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, EMDR for trauma-related symptoms, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used flexibly to match what a client needs in the moment. She draws on nine years of professional experience, including prior work in addiction treatment, to guide recovery and coping plans.

In sessions she helps people build skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and making behavioral changes that stick. For those facing traumatic memories, she offers focused methods to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Christina also pays attention to how relationships and early attachment patterns affect present-day struggles.

Christina practices from California and conducts sessions in English. She supports people through life transitions, chronic health challenges, codependency, anger, and career concerns, helping them move toward clearer choices and steadier well-being.

Online approaches that fit your needs

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they relate to others and build safer ways of connecting. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that can reduce distress from painful memories and help people reclaim daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that match those needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick support between sessions or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving schedules, and daily life.
