About Christina
Christina Dolese is a licensed clinical social worker in Louisiana who helps people navigate strong emotions and hard changes. She uses clear, practical methods to address anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. Christina focuses on building self-compassion and better communication in everyday life.
Clients meet in a calm, nonjudgmental space where talk is used to understand what feels overwhelming. Sessions often include looking at patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Christina aims to make therapy feel approachable and relevant to your needs. She brings four years of clinical experience to work with issues like attachment struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. Christina also helps people dealing with career questions, body image concerns, and the fallout from separation or blended family dynamics.
Her background supports people coping with complex, overlapping concerns. Her style blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means she listens first, then offers tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and pause strong reactions.
Narrative elements are used to help people reframe their stories and find more agency. Christina works with adults to address both immediate problems and longer-term patterns. She guides practical steps for coping, improves communication skills, and supports rebuilding a sense of self-worth.
The focus is on reasonable goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Christina often uses client-centered therapy to create a listening-first atmosphere where the person's goals lead the work. This approach is helpful when someone needs a safe place to talk, build self-compassion, and clarify what matters most.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing day-to-day stress by practicing small behavioral changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christina collaborates with each person to decide which combination of methods fits best based on goals, preferences, and how they respond in early sessions. Adjustments are expected and are made together as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for focused talk and visual cues, while phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when people prefer typing their thoughts. These options help fit therapy into busy days and different life rhythms.
