About Corina

Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 10 years of experience. Corina Istanich helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma, grief, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and related issues.

She trained at Palm Beach Atlantic University for both undergraduate and graduate studies. Her background includes work in inpatient addiction care and later outpatient and in-home services with community agencies. That experience shaped how she approaches substance use and communication problems.

Corina favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and draws on other approaches when they fit. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, building coping skills, and practicing clearer communication. She emphasizes setting boundaries and using practical strategies that can be tried between meetings.

She often works from a faith perspective and says that her Christian education informs her clinical stance. In practice she aims to be direct while also attentive to emotion. The relationship in sessions is used as a place to practice different ways of relating to others.

Corina prefers video sessions so she can see clients and notice visual cues. She is open to phone or live chat when video is not possible. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to match your needs.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Corina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which centers sessions on the person’s own goals and experience. That approach supports open discussion and helps prioritize what matters most to the client.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Corina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts strategy over time based on progress and feedback.

She prefers video so she can see facial expressions and nonverbal cues, but will use phone or live chat when video is not possible. Because session options can change, confirm the exact formats offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
