Christina Dolese, LCSW

Christina Dolese is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Louisiana. She draws on four years of experience to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Christina focuses on clear, gentle support so people feel heard and get practical steps to move forward.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through painful memories and current stressors. Sessions often include helping people notice patterns in thinking and behavior, then trying small changes to see what helps. Christina uses straightforward tools to build coping skills and improve communication with others.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns, from parenting strain and caregiver stress to anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with trauma, attachment wounds, and family of origin problems. Christina pays attention to how past experiences shape present feelings and choices.

Therapy blends practical techniques with personal storytelling. Christina may use cognitive behavioral approaches to challenge unhelpful thoughts and mindfulness to reduce emotional reactivity. She also draws on client-centered listening and narrative methods to help people make sense of their lives.

People who want concrete strategies alongside empathic listening tend to do well with her style. She works collaboratively, setting goals together and checking progress. If someone wants a therapist who balances real-world tools with steady emotional support, Christina aims to provide that combination.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Christina commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems because it focuses on small, testable changes.

She also relies on client-centered therapy, which means she listens closely and follows the person’s own goals. This approach helps people feel understood and guides the choices they make in therapy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then tailor methods to fit each person. That collaborative process helps decide when to use CBT tools, mindfulness practices, or narrative techniques.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs and schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat may suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work even when routines change.
