About Christina
Christina Mossaad is an AASW social worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for stress, anxiety and parenting strains. She works collaboratively and believes people already have strengths to draw on. Christina aims to make the first steps feel manageable and steady.
Christina draws on five years of clinical therapeutic practice within a broader 20-year professional background. She uses straightforward talk and practical strategies to help people build confidence and cope with life changes.
How Christina works
Sessions often focus on small, repeatable skills rather than long lectures. Her approach brings together acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive techniques, and mindfulness to reduce worry and improve day-to-day functioning. Attachment-focused work helps people understand relationship patterns and feel less isolated.
Dialectical strategies offer tools for strong emotions and staying grounded in difficult moments. Christina regularly helps with parenting challenges, compassion fatigue and caregiver stress by creating clear steps clients can try between sessions. She also supports people working on body image, self-esteem, and recovering from trauma symptoms like panic or post-traumatic stress.
Practical communication strategies are offered for those struggling with control, guilt or relationship conflict. Sessions are conversational and paced to the person. Christina values collaboration - she listens, reflects, and suggests options rather than pushing a single method.
The aim is to leave each session with something useful to try. People can expect calm, focused sessions that balance learning and real-life practice. Christina helps clients translate insights into habits that fit daily life.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking patterns that increase distress and learning different ways of responding. CBT suits panic, mood concerns and social anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people rebuild connection and trust when they feel isolated or stuck. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative - approaches can be mixed and adjusted as progress is reviewed. Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in when hands-free contact is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, low‑intensity coaching between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to build consistent habits and fit therapy into a busy life.Start online instead of waiting
