Dr. Christina Jurekovic, LPC

Dr. Christina Jurekovic uses a client-centered approach informed by cognitive behavioral therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions. Her work focuses on making small, useful changes that add up over time.

She has provided counseling since 2014 in schools and clinical settings and has also taught clinical mental health counseling. That background gives her practical experience with a wide range of concerns, from depression and relationship strain to compassion fatigue and career stress. Her methods are meant to be adaptable to each person's situation.

In a session she listens first and then helps identify concrete steps people can try between meetings. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are brought in when they fit a person's goals and pace.

Dr. Jurekovic also helps people facing family and identity questions, including adoption and foster care issues, blended family concerns, attachment and family-of-origin patterns, and caregiving stress. She addresses trauma, abuse, ADHD, chronic health challenges, and fertility-related worries with attention to day-to-day coping skills.

Her style is warm and practical. She aims to help people build resilience, clarify priorities, and move forward with more confidence. People who want a thoughtful, action-focused therapist may find her approach helpful.

Approaches that translate to online care

Dr. Jurekovic blends cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered work to guide sessions toward practical change. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaborating so the person sets the pace and goals for the work.

She also uses elements of existential thinking and mindfulness when clients want to address meaning, life transitions, or present-moment coping. Finding the right approach is part of therapy - the therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level in online sessions.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or people who prefer writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try approaches that best support progress.
