About Cristina
Cristina Juisti is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience in community mental health. She guides adults through stress, anxiety, and mood concerns using clear, practical steps. Her style aims to help people find more hope and calm in daily life.
Cristina keeps sessions straightforward and focused. She listens first, then helps clients spot options and small changes that make a difference. Conversations emphasize strengths and realistic choices rather than jargon or long theories.
How Cristina works
Her background includes extensive work in the Greater Philadelphia area, where she supported adults and older adults with depression, anxiety, and mood swings. That experience shaped a down-to-earth approach that values steady progress over quick fixes. In session she uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in front of her.
She combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try out different behaviors. Motivational interviewing is also part of her toolkit to clarify goals and build commitment to change. People who do best with Cristina often want practical strategies and a supportive listener.
She encourages small experiments and regular check-ins so progress is visible. Her aim is to help people move from feeling stuck to having clearer choices and more hope. If someone is coping with life changes, relationship losses, body image worries, or caregiving stress, Cristina offers steady guidance and realistic tools to manage those challenges.

Therapy approaches and how online sessions work
Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist follows the client's priorities and offers supportive listening so the person can decide what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and gain clarity about their goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person's own reasons for change. It can be useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps and wants help finding motivation.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as priorities change, and treatment plans are adjusted collaboratively.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and full sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are flexible for brief updates, quick coping tools, or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep consistent contact during times of change.
