About Christina
Christina Janiszeski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience based in Minnesota. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, relationship and family difficulties, and the stress of life transitions. She also supports people dealing with grief, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar conditions, and career-related strain.
Christina trained at Regis University where she completed a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Over the last decade she has focused on improving day-to-day wellbeing for people who struggle with mental health or substance use. Her background includes work with both mood and addiction concerns alongside relationship and family-of-origin issues.
In sessions she uses person-centered and client-centered ideas to make conversations direct and practical. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thought patterns. Existential ideas and mindfulness practices appear in her work when questions about meaning, values, or stress management are part of the concern.
Christina blends practical coaching with therapeutic work. That can mean setting short-term goals, practicing skills between sessions, and talking through choices during periods of change. She also addresses attachment patterns, body image, chronic pain or illness impacts, codependency, communication problems, and forgiveness work.
Her style is straightforward and focused on usable steps that fit daily life. People often come to her when early adulthood pressures feel overwhelming - balancing work, study, relationships, and identity shifts. To begin, readers are asked to use the service’s matching and scheduling process to find a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Christina integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and elements of Existential Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can make sense of their own choices and feelings. CBT targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depression, or addictive urges. Existential Therapy brings questions about meaning, responsibility, and values into sessions when clients are facing identity or life-direction issues.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Christina works collaboratively to identify which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options and adapt strategies as progress and priorities become clearer.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not detailed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during work or school breaks, and reduce travel time. If camera-free conversations or shorter audio sessions are preferable, discuss those possibilities when scheduling so sessions match daily life and comfort.
