Christina Janiszeski , LPC

Christina Janiszeski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Minnesota who focuses on helping people facing a wide range of life challenges. She works with individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, addictions, ADHD, and concerns about self-esteem and relationships. Christina aims to create a straightforward, practical space where people can talk through what matters most to them.

She uses a client-centered stance that centers each person's story and goals. That means sessions start with what the person wants to change and move at a pace that feels manageable. Christina blends cognitive behavioral strategies with motivational interviewing to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build small, concrete steps forward.

Her background includes a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling and about 10 years of practice as an LPC. That experience includes work with people coping with chronic pain and illness, addiction and recovery challenges, family of origin issues, and complicated life transitions. Christina also supports clients facing codependency, communication struggles, and body image concerns.

In sessions she focuses on practical skills and clear goals while honoring each person's experience. People can expect a mix of reflective listening and hands-on strategies for coping, decision making, and building healthier routines. Christina encourages clients to treat therapy as a collaborative process toward clearer choices and better daily functioning.

She conducts work in English and offers several remote session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and remote care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. Sessions prioritize where the client wants to go and respond to their concerns with listening and empathy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Christina will work with each client to figure out which methods match their goals, values, and comfort level. That may mean trying CBT techniques for a few weeks, then adding motivational interviewing to strengthen motivation and plan next steps.

Online therapy offers several ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth or convenience is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or medical schedules while keeping the focus on skill-building and steady progress.
