About Christina
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with five years of counseling experience, Christina Turner helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related concerns. She also supports clients facing self-esteem and career difficulties and identifies as an LGBTQIA+ ally. Christina focuses on building a direct, respectful working relationship so people feel heard and understood.
Christina uses client-centered methods to guide conversations and to follow what matters most to each person.

Mindfulness and existential approaches are part of her toolbox when questions about meaning and presence arise.
Her practice includes a broad range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety. Christina lists addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes among her areas of focus. Additional topics she addresses include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, blended family challenges, communication problems, BDSM and alternative sex culture, chronic illness or pain, and gender dysphoria.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Christina listens first, then offers strategies and skills people can try between meetings. She works collaboratively to set goals and to adjust methods based on how someone responds.

How her approaches can work in online sessions
Christina relies on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client's concerns and priorities. That approach emphasizes listening, reflection, and collaborative goal setting to help people feel understood and to clarify what they want to change. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers practical exercises and homework that translate well to remote work, such as thought records and behavioral experiments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for managing intense emotion and improving coping; these include grounding, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness techniques that can be taught and practiced during virtual meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to their goals and preferences. The choice of technique is collaborative and can change as progress is made. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Ask about available meeting formats when you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can meet during lunch breaks or between obligations.Sheet 3
