About Christina
Christina Briggs is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of professional experience. She practices in Mississippi and helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction challenges, family conflict, trauma and low self-esteem. Christina aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what’s worrying them and begin making practical changes.
She focuses on building trust and clear goals with each person. Sessions often start by identifying immediate concerns and small steps that feel doable. Christina mixes practical skills with chances to reflect, so progress feels steady rather than overwhelming.
Her work draws on evidence-informed approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness techniques. These methods are used to teach coping skills, manage intense emotions, and reduce unhelpful thinking patterns. She adapts tools to each person’s pace and needs rather than using the same plan for everyone.
Christina also supports people dealing with issues related to adoption and foster care, abandonment, blended family dynamics, aging and geriatric concerns, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and substance use. She addresses relationship changes, divorce or separation, dissociation, and eating or body image worries with the same practical focus.
Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Christina encourages clients to set realistic goals and practice new skills between sessions. She invites people to take the next step when they feel ready to work toward a less stressful life.

How her approaches translate to online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and changing behaviors that get in the way of daily life. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships with clear, step-by-step techniques. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention and breathing practices that reduce overwhelm and improve focus.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Christina will discuss your goals and try tools together to see what helps most. She adjusts methods based on what feels useful and doable for you rather than insisting on one path.
Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or make it easier to keep appointments during work or caregiving breaks. Talk with the therapist about what timing and session length will work best for practical life demands and your goals.
