About Christina
Christina Turner is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Alabama. She draws on five years of counseling experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She welcomes conversations about self-esteem, career challenges, and identity concerns as part of day-to-day life changes.
Christina focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named. She emphasizes clear, practical steps and listens for what matters most to each person. Sessions move at a steady, practical pace, with room for emotion and problem solving.
Her background includes working with people navigating grief, addictions, and intimate-area concerns like intimacy-related issues and body image. Christina also addresses attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, chronic pain or illness, and questions around gender and sexual identity. She notes experience supporting people affected by natural or human-caused disaster and the ripple effects those events create.
Her approach blends client-centered conversations with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness and existential ideas also shape sessions when questions about meaning or values come up. The emphasis is on finding what helps in real life, not on jargon.

Approaches that guide online counseling conversations
Christina blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address practical problems and emotional pain. Client-centered work focuses on listening and creating a respectful space where people can say what they feel and think without judgment. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches tools to shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work she does with each person. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they shape a plan that pulls from different methods as needed rather than sticking to a single model.
If you are considering online therapy here, please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the therapist biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use audio-only options if video is difficult, or schedule sessions around work or caregiving commitments. Licensed professionals aim to match format and frequency to what will fit a client’s life and goals.
