Christina Javete, LMHC

Christina Javete is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She has eight years of clinical experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and problems with motivation and self-esteem.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to guide conversations and skill-building. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, like tracking thoughts, practicing grounding skills, or setting small behavior goals.

Christina has worked with veterans and brings that background into her approach when relevant. She aims to meet each person where they are and adjust the pace to match comfort and need. Her style is direct and respectful, with attention to building coping skills that fit day-to-day life.

People can expect conversations that emphasize learning skills and testing what works. She helps sort through overwhelming emotions, develop clearer communication habits, and reconnect with meaning or purpose after change or loss.

Christina frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens, offers tools from evidence-based approaches, and supports people as they try new ways of responding to stress and relationship struggles.

Using CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness Online

Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and practicing new actions to reduce anxiety and low mood.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-style exercises can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships repeatedly trigger conflict.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk through goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what a person finds useful. She aims to work collaboratively so treatment fits each person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction and skills practice, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and fit sessions into a busy life.
