About Christina
LISW (Ohio) with 11 years of experience. Christina Swanger helps people manage stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes.

Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and aims for clear, short-term goals when those fit a person’s needs. She encourages active collaboration: clients and therapist decide which strategies to try and how to track progress.
Her background as a licensed independent social worker informs a practical approach to everyday problems. Christina emphasizes small, manageable changes that fit into busy schedules and major transitions.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Christina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and problem solving. One common method emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them in everyday situations to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This approach helps people spot patterns and try new, more helpful thinking habits.She also uses approaches that focus on relationships and attachment patterns. These help people understand family of origin issues, attachment wounds, and how those patterns affect current family dynamics and close relationships. Work in this area involves mapping relationship patterns and practicing different ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress is tracked. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to try and when to change course.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Discuss format options during the matching and scheduling steps to find what fits daily routines.
