About Christina
Christina Macnamara is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 29 years of experience helping people navigate hard life moments. She speaks plainly and works with adults who feel overwhelmed by change, loss, illness, or big decisions. Christina aims to create a calm space to sort through thoughts and feelings and find practical next steps.
Her work is client-centered and solution-focused. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and related approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on small, doable changes.
Christina treats common struggles such as anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and relationship concerns. Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric concerns, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and body image.
In sessions she works as a partner with the client, setting clear goals and checking progress. Conversations tend to be practical - identifying unhelpful patterns, testing new behaviors, and building skills for coping with life changes.
People who want straightforward, steady support may find her approach helpful. Christina asks questions, listens closely, and helps plan realistic steps for moving forward. She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English.
How her approaches shape online work
Christina uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools. ACT helps people clarify their values and take actions that match those values even when emotions are strong. CBT focuses on spotting thinking patterns that create distress and trying new behaviors to change how a person feels and functions.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions respectful and focused on what the client says matters. That means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s lead when setting goals. Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work and will be decided together based on needs and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Discussing formats and scheduling is part of the initial steps so sessions can fit a client's routine. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy stays consistent with daily life.
