About Christina
Christina Dolese is a Louisiana-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who supports adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She focuses on clear, practical help so people can get through hard days and make steady changes. Christina emphasizes listening first, then building skills that fit each person's life.
Her style is warm and direct. Sessions aim to make feelings easier to name and choices easier to make. Christina uses conversations to help people notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and reduce shame or isolation.
Background and approach
She draws on several evidence-informed methods to suit different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break down upsetting thoughts and try small behavior changes. Mindfulness practices teach attention and calm in the moment.
Narrative work helps people reframe their life stories and notice strengths they may have missed. Christina pays particular attention to relationship and family issues, parenting strain, and the burnout that can come from caregiving or compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with trauma, anger, self-esteem, career worries, and ADHD-related challenges by tailoring tools to everyday routines.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual's comfort. Christina helps set clear goals and checks in about what's working. People leave with practical steps they can try between sessions and a clearer sense of next moves.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's pace so they feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs a calm space to sort out feelings and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact; it teaches simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to what is happening right now and offers brief practices to lower reactivity and build steadier focus.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Christina works with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so therapy stays useful and practical rather than dogmatic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and deeper discussion. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone send updates or quick check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into work, parenting, or other daily routines.
