About Christina
Christina Macnamara is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 29 years of practice in Florida. She helps people navigate hard life moments like loss, illness, job changes, and overwhelming stress. Christina speaks plainly and works side-by-side with clients to find manageable next steps.
She uses a client-centered style that begins with listening to what matters most to the person in the room. From there she draws on solution-focused work and cognitive behavioral ideas to build simple strategies for day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and paced to each person's needs. Christina often helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship strain. ADHD is also listed among her focus areas, and she supports people who want better ways to organize, plan, and manage attention-related challenges.
She also addresses parenting concerns, compassion fatigue, and chronic illness adjustment. Her approach treats therapy as a partnership. She and the client set achievable goals and try methods that fit the client's routine and strengths.
Progress usually looks like clearer thinking, new coping tools, and small changes that add up. Christina works with practical change and steady support rather than quick fixes. She welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into a client's life and about which techniques feel most useful.
How Christina’s Approaches Work Online
Christina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on small actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and teaches practical skills to change habits and reduce anxiety or low mood.She approaches treatment as a joint process. Together the client and therapist try different approaches and pick what fits the client’s goals and daily life. That collaborative process helps tailor techniques to issues like grief, trauma, relationship strain, or ADHD-related challenges.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can work for shorter check-ins, quick skill coaching, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other obligations while keeping the focus on practical strategies and steady progress.
