Christina Turner, LPC

Christina Turner is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Alabama. She has five years of counseling experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She is an LGBTQIA+ ally and aims to create a welcoming space for people to talk honestly about hard things.

Christina uses a direct and practical style in sessions. She helps clients name what feels overwhelming and breaks problems into manageable steps. Conversations often include skill-building for coping, tools to spot unhelpful thinking, and ways to notice patterns that keep problems alive.

Her work draws from client-centered therapy, which means she listens closely and follows each person's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help change thinking and behavior, and dialectical behavior therapy skills for strong emotions and distress tolerance.

Clients come with many concerns, including grief, intimacy-related worries, addictions, ADHD, body image, and career stress. Christina also supports people dealing with trauma, attachment and abandonment issues, and aspects of gender and sexual identity. She helps people set realistic goals and practice new ways of coping between sessions.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Christina encourages questions and checks in often to make sure the work matches each person's needs. To begin, she asks people to share their goals so sessions stay focused and useful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person's priorities. Online sessions using this approach mean the therapist will ask questions and reflect back what matters most to the client so goals stay clear. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find practical changes that help day-to-day functioning. Online CBT often uses brief skill practices and homework to track progress between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be taught in step-by-step sessions and practiced at home.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the focus when skills or strategies aren’t helping.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports doing skill practice in the settings where life happens, so people can test new approaches between sessions and bring back what worked and what didn’t.
