Christina Dolese

Christina Dolese is a Louisiana licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with four years of practice. She focuses on helping adults through anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Christina aims to create a calm and compassionate space for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

She centers sessions on building self-respect and clearer communication. Christina listens first and helps clients name what matters to them. She works with people who are coping with grief, trauma, anger, burnout, and the strain that comes from caregiving or demanding jobs.

Her style combines straightforward conversation with practical tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions so the client’s goals set the direction.

Christina also uses mindfulness to help regulate emotions and Motivational Interviewing to support changes people want to make. Narrative Therapy is woven in when examining life stories and patterns that feel stuck or painful. These approaches are mixed to match each person’s needs.

Sessions tend to focus on skills you can use between meetings, like communication strategies, grounding practices, and steps for handling difficult interactions. Christina helps people plan manageable steps toward clearer boundaries, stronger self-esteem, and steadier mood. If you want to begin, the therapist asks that you complete the site intake and schedule a session so you can discuss goals and fit.

Approaches used online and how they help

Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and testing small changes.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client’s goals. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around what they want to work on. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach grounding and emotion regulation techniques that reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Christina will check in about your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest techniques to try. Together you will adjust methods as progress and priorities become clearer.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed or slower-paced work across weeks. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know which options are offered and can choose what fits your routine.
