About Christina
Christina Gower is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar challenges, grief, sleep problems, anger, and ADHD. She keeps sessions warm and nonjudgmental so people can talk about what matters. Her style aims to make small, manageable changes that fit daily life.
Christina uses several practical therapy methods to match each person's needs. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people focus on values and goals.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to spot and shift patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness and dialectical behavior skills are added when learning emotion regulation and grounding feels useful. Her background includes eight years working in the mental health field.
Christina has experience with both short-term stress reactions and longer-term mood or trauma-related difficulties. That range shapes how she adapts sessions for people who need immediate tools or slower-paced work. In sessions she aims to be collaborative and straightforward.
People can expect to set concrete goals, try simple practice exercises, and review what helps between appointments. Progress is tracked in steps, not promises. Christina offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging formats.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. She provides services in English and works with clients located in Missouri.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them, then take small steps toward what matters most. It often helps when anxiety, depression, or life changes make it hard to move forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practicing different ways of responding. It is useful for anxiety, mood symptoms, sleep problems, and managing ADHD-related routines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for strong or overwhelming feelings. Those skills can support people who struggle with anger, intense moods, or trouble calming down.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needed.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, homework support, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help people keep momentum on days when an in-person visit would be difficult.
