About Christina
Christina Brown is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career struggles, and depression.

Online session options
Approach-focused care you can access remotely
Christina draws on Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Client-Centered principles to guide online work. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and consider alternative, more helpful narratives. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. Client-Centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and shaping sessions around what the person finds important.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Christina will discuss what matters to you, try approaches that match your goals, and adjust methods as you make progress. The goal is practical change that fits your daily life, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy routine. Video lets you work visually and practice skills in-session, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins or flexible timing. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, caregiving, or travel.
