About Christina
Christina Davila is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with three years of practice. She works with adults and adolescents on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
Christina frames sessions around the client's experience and strengths. She treats people as the expert on their own story and helps them notice what already works. Conversations focus on practical steps and changes a person can try between sessions.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with goal-focused strategies. She uses techniques that help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, practice new coping skills, and manage intense emotions. Sessions often include straightforward skill practice and problem-solving exercises.
Christina also brings mindfulness and motivational methods into her work. These approaches help with staying present, managing urges, and building motivation for change. She can support people facing co-occurring concerns such as mood disorders, substance use, trauma, grief, and life transitions.
People come to her for help with practical life pressures - job stress, relationship strain, identity questions, sleep and eating problems, and challenges after big changes. She offers a steady, down-to-earth style focused on what a person wants to change and how to get there one step at a time.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. Online sessions let the therapist and client talk through concerns and build goals together, with the therapist reflecting what the client brings forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches ways to notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online work can include worksheets, short skill rehearsals, and homework to practice between sessions to target anxiety, depression, and stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be taught, practiced, and reviewed in remote sessions to help manage strong emotions and impulsive behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can shift as the client notices what helps and what does not.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as the profile does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule - they can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins, and make it simpler to meet between other commitments. Speak with the clinician when scheduling to learn which formats she currently offers and to arrange times that fit everyday life.
