About Christina
Christina Balboni is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California with eight years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. Christina aims to meet people where they are and make the first step feel manageable.
She has spent more than a decade working in the geriatric field and developed a strong connection to the older adults she supported. That background informs how she listens and responds to concerns about aging, end of life, and loss. Christina brings patience and practical focus to conversations about difficult transitions.
Sessions are tailored to each person's needs. Christina concentrates on clear goals and doable steps so clients can notice small changes. She works with issues like body image, chronic illness and pain, codependency, attachment and relationship patterns, and confidence struggles.
Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Christina says she will shape dialogue and the plan of care around what matters most to the person in front of her. That can mean focusing on short-term coping skills or on deeper patterns that affect mood and motivation.
Taking the first step often feels hard, and Christina acknowledges that courage. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. The process is presented as a collaborative effort to help clients regain steadiness and clearer direction.
How evidence-based approaches guide online care
Christina works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical steps and measurable change. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills and routines to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, helping people manage day-to-day stress and boost motivation. Another typical focus is grief and loss work, which creates space to process feelings while identifying concrete ways to adjust to life changes and obligations.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, and will suggest methods that fit those priorities. The choice is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy feels more manageable. Licensed professionals, including Christina, can help match an approach and schedule that align with your life and goals.
