Christina Anderson

Christina Anderson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience in mental health and addictions. She frames therapy as a supportive conversation that helps people meet their needs. Christina aims to make sessions feel practical and down-to-earth for stressed or worried parents.

She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered work. That means she pays attention to how past hurts affect daily life and helps people build values-based coping and clearer self-understanding. Sessions focus on realistic steps rather than abstract theory.

Christina has worked with people across a wide age range and many settings. Her background includes community programs, schools, hospitals, crisis response teams, EMS, and specialty health care groups. That variety informs the way she adapts strategies to fit different situations.

Her practice addresses concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, and career or life transitions. She also works with first responder issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, and mood or panic disorders. Christina combines practical problem solving with attention to emotional experience.

Christina runs a private practice in Indiana that offers both in-person and telehealth sessions. To begin, she invites prospective clients to start a conversation about current needs and goals so the plan can be tailored to each person.

How trauma-aware and ACT approaches work online

Christina uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past hurt on present life, helping people understand triggers and practice new coping reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify personal values and build small, practical steps toward a more meaningful daily routine. Client-centered therapy provides a listening space where the person's priorities lead the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christina will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together decide which methods fit best. That collaborative plan can change as needs evolve, with the therapist checking in about what is helpful.

Christina's practice currently offers telehealth as part of services, but specific session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Talk with Christina during the initial matching step to learn which session options match your routine and goals.
