Dr. Christina Jurekovic , LPC

Dr. Christina Jurekovic is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses a person-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and parenting concerns. She focuses on practical tools and clear conversation so people can feel steadier and more able to handle daily life.

She has worked in schools, clinical counseling, and as a professor of clinical mental health counseling since 2014. That range of roles gives her direct experience with common life challenges and how they affect day-to-day functioning.

Her work combines client-centered listening with strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Sessions typically include straightforward coping skills, thought-aware exercises, and practices to reduce reactivity and build calm.

Dr. Jurekovic also brings existential ideas into therapy, helping people consider values, meaning, and what matters most when life shifts. Motivational interviewing is used to support change when clients feel stuck or unsure about next steps.

She helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, ADHD, compassion fatigue, caregiving strain, fertility and adoption issues, chronic illness, and career concerns. Christina aims to meet each person where they are and create goals that fit real life.

Located in Colorado, she offers sessions that fit into busy schedules and respects the practical needs people bring to counseling. Her style is calm, direct, and focused on usable strategies to help people move forward.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarify their own goals for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact, and uses simple exercises to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns; it often suits problems like stress, worry, and mood shifts. Mindfulness therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and build steadier focus during the day.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different strategies, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to find methods that fit the person’s needs and rhythm of life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins, written coaching, or a way to process between sessions. These options make it possible to keep therapy consistent amid busy schedules.
