About Christina
Christina Kodjiku is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 24 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and related concerns. Christina also helps people dealing with career questions, attention challenges, and changes that come with different life stages.
She describes a practice grounded in client-centered work and practical problem solving. Sessions often begin by building a working relationship and clarifying immediate goals. Christina uses straightforward strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches and motivational interviewing to address unhelpful patterns and support change.
Her background includes work with people affected by substance use and with Veterans, including readjustment counseling. She has also supported people facing homelessness and the social stresses that come with physical illness or caregiving roles. Those experiences inform how she handles complex life problems.
Christina uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and mindfulness techniques alongside more directive skills to manage symptoms such as anxiety, sleep disruption, and anger. She combines short-term, solution-focused steps with attention to longer-term patterns when needed. Clients can expect conversational, goal-orientated sessions that aim to clarify choices and build practical skills.
She accepts clients who live outside the United States. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her clinical methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when life feels confusing after school, work changes, or big relationships shift. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful habits. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is ambivalent about change by clarifying strengths and reasons to act.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with short, practical steps and adding mindfulness or ACT practices over time. The plan is shaped together based on what the client wants to change and how quickly they want to move.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Before booking, confirm which online options are currently offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around classes, shifts, or caregiving by removing travel time, allowing for shorter check-ins, and providing more flexible scheduling. Licensed professionals can use a range of techniques effectively through remote sessions when both therapist and client agree on how to work.
