About Christina

Christina Dolese is a licensed clinical social worker based in Louisiana who brings four years of clinical experience to her therapeutic work.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and ADHD concerns, offering a compassionate, person-focused approach that emphasizes growth and coping skills. Her practice centers on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can explore feelings of isolation, shame, anger, or emptiness and build practical strategies for day-to-day life.

Christina integrates evidence-informed methods to support improvements in communication, self-esteem, and emotional regulation while attending to issues such as attachment wounds, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and co-morbid mental health concerns. Clients work collaboratively with her to develop resilience, clarify goals, and address career or parenting stressors as needed.

Christina describes her role as a guide who partners with each person to untangle past patterns, strengthen coping resources, and move toward clearer self-understanding and healthier relationships.

Practical approaches for online emotional care

Christina draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's perspective and fosters a nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can explore emotions, build self-understanding, and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina partners with each person to consider their goals, preferences, and life context, tailoring methods and pacing so the work feels relevant and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility for busy schedules and differing communication needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage ongoing stressors, and access support from home or work while adapting approaches as progress unfolds.
