About Christina
LCSW in Florida with 15 years of experience, Christina Figueroa works with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating and body image concerns, relationship strain, grief, anger, bipolar issues, and LGBT-related matters. She sees language fluency in English and Spanish. Christina frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client brings knowledge of their own life and strengths.
Christina uses a mix of evidence-informed methods that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused work, and Trauma-Focused approaches. Sessions focus on practical skills for managing emotions, improving coping, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns. She helps people practice new strategies between sessions so progress continues day to day.
Typical sessions begin with a short assessment of current concerns and priorities. Christina works with each person to set clear, realistic goals and to break those goals into small steps. When trauma or crises are part of the picture, she incorporates trauma-focused techniques alongside skills training to stabilize symptoms and build resilience.
Christina pays attention to stress management and daily routines. She helps people develop tools for handling anxiety, adjusting medication effects when relevant, and organizing attention for those with ADHD. For eating and body image work, conversations cover behaviors, beliefs, and practical changes in habits.
Her approach is straightforward and skill-oriented. Christina aims to help people build routines, learn coping tools, and make measurable changes over time. She encourages clients to track progress and adjust plans as needed.

How specific approaches are used in online sessions
CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In practice this means setting small, concrete experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems. DBT focuses on learning practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Sessions include skills practice for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and mindful awareness to reduce reactivity. Finding the right method is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then suggest approaches to try. That shared decision lets sessions stay focused on what matters most to the client. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the therapist’s biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, or avoid travel time. Talk through logistics and preferences during the first appointment so sessions fit into everyday life.Sheet 3
