Christina Briggs, LCSW

Christina Briggs is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of practice experience. She works from Mississippi and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and struggles with addiction. Christina also helps people dealing with trauma, family conflict, and low self-esteem.

She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions are practical and grounded. Conversations focus on small, doable steps that build confidence and coping skills.

Christina uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation and mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity. These approaches are used together to match each person's needs.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then works with clients to set goals and plan clear steps toward those goals. People who want a therapist who is supportive and action-oriented may find this approach helpful.

Christina has worked across a range of concerns including abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family problems, chronic health challenges, codependency, substance use, eating issues, and divorce-related stress. She brings that breadth of experience into each session while keeping the focus on the person's immediate goals and strengths.

CBT, DBT, Mindfulness for Online Care

Christina uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding. CBT often focuses on small behavior changes and clear exercises you can practice between sessions.

She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be especially useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships are strained.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Christina works with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and daily life, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person can manage.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and text or chat can work well for brief check-ins or when messaging fits a busy schedule. These options make it easier to get regular support without major travel and to pick the format that fits your routine.
