About Christina
Christina Cartagena is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in South Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and difficulties like panic attacks or trouble sleeping. Christina aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so clients can use what they learn day to day.
In sessions she focuses on building understanding about how past relationships and current habits affect feelings and choices. She uses clear tools to manage overwhelming emotions, reduce anxious thinking, and improve communication. Christina emphasizes skills that can be practiced between sessions so progress carries into everyday life.
Her approach mixes attention to emotional patterns with hands-on techniques. That means looking at attachment and relationship dynamics alongside strategies from cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness. Dialectical behavior and emotionally focused ideas also inform how she helps clients manage intense feelings and repair important connections.
Christina has three years of experience as an LPC in South Carolina. She draws on that work to keep sessions collaborative and tailored to individual goals. People who come to her leave with a clearer sense of priorities and concrete steps to feel steadier.
If money and financial issues are part of the stress you feel, Christina can help you talk through how money affects your emotions, choices, and relationships. To begin, use the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a first meeting.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape present-day reactions and connections. It helps people understand why they feel distant, clingy, or triggered in relationships and supports rebuilding trust and closeness.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens with empathy, reflects what is shared, and helps the client find their own solutions for stress, low mood, or decision points.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods suit their goals and preferences. That could mean focusing on emotional insight one week and practicing behavior-change skills the next.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session types offered before booking since specific formats are not listed on the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about how you want sessions to fit into your schedule and daily routine.
