About Christina
Christina Ashby is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, addiction, trauma, and grief. She brings 12 years of experience and aims to meet clients where they are. Christina values a practical, compassionate approach and includes each person’s spiritual beliefs when desired.
Christina focuses on strengths and usable skills. She listens for what matters most and helps people build plans to manage strong emotions, improve communication, and handle life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions often include straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to shift unhelpful thoughts and reactions. For couples and relationship concerns she draws on relationship work that emphasizes repair, better listening, and clearer boundaries. She also uses approaches that address intense emotional regulation and patterns that keep people stuck.
These methods are adapted to the situation rather than applied as fixed recipes. Christina has worked with people dealing with parenting stress, workplace issues, first responder and veteran concerns, and multicultural challenges. She also supports people working through codependency, infidelity, shame, and sexual assault or abuse.
Her background in ministry informs a holistic view of healing for those who want spiritual integration. Practical details are handled at the start of care. Christina asks about family context, medical and mental health history, past traumas, substance use, and supports so she can tailor sessions.
She encourages honest, paced work and stays alongside clients through messy change.

Online support
Approaches for online relationship and emotional work
Christina often blends Gottman Method ideas with cognitive behavioral therapy to support relationship repair and day-to-day coping. The Gottman-related work focuses on improving communication, reducing conflict cycles, and building moments of connection. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and patterns and gives practical exercises to change them.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. DBT skills can help people manage intense reactions, reduce impulsive actions, and develop more balanced responses in relationships and at work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christina works collaboratively to choose and adjust methods based on a person’s goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She explains options, tries strategies together, and revises the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and role-play for relationship work. Phone calls can be shorter check-ins or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching-style check-ins, or when someone prefers writing between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
