About Christina
Christina Macnamara brings nearly three decades of practice as a licensed clinical social worker. She offers steady, practical support when life feels overwhelming. Christina meets each person where they are and helps them sort through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and major life changes.
She focuses on clear, collaborative work. Sessions aim to identify what matters most to the client and build small, doable steps toward better coping. Conversations are straightforward and paced to fit the client’s needs.
How Christina works
Christina uses tools that help with thinking patterns, motivation, and solving immediate problems. Her approach centers on the person rather than a single method. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Client-centered and solution-focused methods shape how goals are set and progress is reviewed. Christina has experience with trauma, abuse, parenting strain, adoption and foster care matters, aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and issues around attachment and abandonment. She also supports people coping with body image, cancer, codependency, commitment and control concerns, and ADHD-related challenges.
Sessions can address both short-term problems and longer-standing struggles like depression or compassion fatigue. Christina emphasizes practical strategies clients can use between sessions. Her style is calm, direct, and respectful, aiming to help people regain a sense of direction and everyday functioning.

How Christina’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values, even when emotions are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, grief, and navigating big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try new behaviors and thinking patterns to reduce distress. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then choose or combine techniques that fit. The plan evolves as progress is made and priorities shift, so clients help shape which tools are used and when.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or to fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, short guidance, or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people keep momentum even when schedules are busy or travel is difficult.
