About Christina
Christina Briggs is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience based in Mississippi. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, family issues, and low self-esteem. Christina focuses on creating an atmosphere where clients can speak honestly and feel heard.
Her practice emphasizes clear, practical steps. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness to help people manage difficult feelings and change unhelpful patterns.
How Christina works
Sessions often include simple skill-building, guided practice, and discussion about what works day to day. Christina pays attention to the life context around each person. That includes concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, blended family dynamics, chronic illness or pain, codependency, and recovery from domestic violence or substance use.
She also addresses issues like commitment worries, dependent personality traits, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness. She aims to support practical change rather than only talk about problems. Clients can expect straightforward feedback, coping strategies they can try between meetings, and ongoing check-ins about progress.
Christina encourages small steps and recognizes that change takes time. People coming to her for help will find a calm, nonjudgmental presence and a focus on usable tools. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often with concrete exercises and homework to practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can help when feelings feel overwhelming. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple techniques to reduce reactivity and increase calm.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust as progress is made. The plan can combine elements from the approaches above so it matches what actually helps.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick skill reminders, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people access care from different places and at varied times while keeping work focused on practical tools and steady progress.
