Christina Willis , LCSW

Christina Willis is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, people-focused therapy to help with anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. She works with individuals in Oklahoma and aims to make conversations feel approachable and down-to-earth.

She emphasizes a client-centered way of working, which means listening first and shaping sessions around each person’s goals. Christina also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and develop clearer, calmer ways of responding to stress. Motivational interviewing helps when making changes feels overwhelming or stuck.

Christina pays attention to issues that often come with relationships and self-image. She supports people dealing with body image, codependency, communication struggles, control issues, jealousy, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also helps people facing midlife concerns, life transitions, and questions about life purpose.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps and practical skills that can be used between meetings. She encourages honest conversations about setbacks as well as progress.

With five years of clinical experience and an Oklahoma LCSW credential, Christina combines real-world tools and empathetic listening. She aims to help people reconnect with their strengths, manage impulses and substance concerns, and move toward clearer, more purposeful living.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Christina often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies to help people sort through feelings and change patterns. Client-centered therapy starts with listening and understanding each person’s priorities, so sessions are shaped around what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

She also uses motivational interviewing when people feel stuck about change. That approach helps explore ambivalence, build motivation, and identify small next steps that feel doable. Choosing the right mix of these approaches is part of the process, and Christina collaborates with each person to decide what fits their needs and goals.

Online sessions can make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, reflection between sessions, and extra accountability. These options aim to increase flexibility and help therapy fit into a busy life.
