Christina Turner, LPC

Christina Turner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered methods to help people manage stress and anxiety. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through what matters most to them. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at practical steps rather than jargon.

With five years of experience, Christina supports people dealing with depression, trauma and abuse, and substance concerns. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, grief, and adjustment after big life changes. Christina lists ADHD, bipolar disorder, and anger as among the problems she addresses in sessions.

She pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes and assists people navigating body image, codependency, communication problems, and blended family stress. Christina is an LGBTQ ally and notes gender dysphoria and issues related to alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink among her focus areas.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness when useful. She works collaboratively to set goals and choose simple tools people can use between sessions. Practical coping strategies and clearer thinking are frequent early priorities.

Christina offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. She welcomes the chance to talk about goals and match on a plan that fits a person’s schedule and daily life.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Christina often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered listening in online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can find their own solutions.

She may also draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when intense feelings or impulsive behaviors get in the way of daily life. These approaches are explained simply and tailored to each person's situation so goals feel realistic and manageable. Finding the best approach is a shared process; Christina works with clients to choose methods that match their needs and preferences rather than applying one set plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and use of worksheets or visual tools. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can fit short check-ins, quick skill practice, or times when writing feels easier. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and everyday life.
