About Christina

Christina Wynkoop is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common early adult concerns such as stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship strain. Christina also supports people facing trauma, grief, ADHD, and career or life-change challenges.

She uses a mix of approaches, mainly client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and trauma-focused methods. Sessions are conversational and practical. She helps people name what’s happening, notice patterns, and try new ways of responding to stress and strong emotions.

Christina has a long history of working with trauma, depression, panic, and complex mood conditions. She also addresses family difficulties, parenting questions, adoption and foster care issues, and separation or divorce concerns. Her background includes supporting people who feel isolated, overwhelmed, or stuck after big life changes.

In session she leans toward straightforward tools from CBT alongside trauma-focused strategies when past events are central. The client-centered side of her work keeps the conversation grounded in each person’s priorities. That combination aims to make therapy useful in day-to-day life, from managing panic to sorting career decisions.

People coming to her can expect short-term practical strategies paired with space to process deeper losses or past harms. She asks questions, listens for what matters, and helps people build steps they can try between appointments.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client’s priorities. It helps people clarify what matters most and make decisions that fit their values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical tools for anxiety, panic, mood swings, and stress so clients can try new responses between sessions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of past harms by identifying how trauma shows up now and practicing ways to reduce its hold. This approach is useful for people with a history of abuse, complex losses, or recurring trauma reactions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust strategies over time. That makes it easier to move from problem identification to usable steps.

Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also let someone use video or audio depending on bandwidth and comfort, and still focus on practical CBT skills or trauma processing without needing extra travel.
