Dr. Christiana Redeaux, LCSW

Dr. Christiana Redeaux is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She brings five years of clinical experience and focuses on straightforward skills people can use between sessions.

She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood. She also uses solution-focused tools to notice what is already working and build on it. Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements appear when they match a person's needs and goals.

Sessions are tailored to each person. She listens for what matters most and then helps set clear, doable steps toward change. Expect short-term strategies and practical homework that fit daily life rather than abstract theory.

Dr. Redeaux pays attention to identity and social context. She supports people dealing with LGBT issues, multicultural concerns, prejudice, and HIV/AIDS related stress. She also helps with workplace strain, communication problems, self-worth, women's issues, and challenges common to young adults.

Her style is respectful and direct. She encourages clients to try concrete tools, reflect on what helps, and adjust the plan as needed. The work aims to make small changes that add up to better coping and clearer direction.

How CBT and practical therapy work online

Dr. Redeaux commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replace them with more helpful alternatives; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes what is already working and builds small, accomplishable goals from those strengths.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to pick approaches that match the person's goals, values, and day-to-day life. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what feels manageable.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video is good for a more traditional session feel, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people send updates or questions between meetings. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to use skills in real life.
