Christina Louise Senn

Christina Louise Senn is a licensed clinical social worker who centers sessions on each person's strengths and goals. She emphasizes a respectful, client-centered style and supports people taking small steps toward a more manageable life.

Christina has five years of professional experience working with stress, anxiety, depression, and compassion fatigue. She also helps people facing social anxiety, seasonal affective disorder, and challenges related to sexual identity and LGBT concerns. Isolation and loneliness are listed among her focus areas and she talks with clients about how to rebuild connection and routine.

Her approach combines Client-Centered Therapy with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That means sessions often blend active listening with specific strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and EMDR when past events interfere with daily life.

Christina works with adults who are navigating chronic illness, aging concerns, mood disorders, veteran-related issues, and non-traditional relationship structures like polyamory and kink. She emphasizes collaboration and respects that each person knows their story best while offering guidance based on what the client wants to change.

If you are considering therapy, Christina invites you to take a first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. She practices in Florida as an LCSW and conducts sessions in English.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and following the client's lead to set goals. In online sessions this looks like reflective conversation, checking what matters most, and adjusting pace to the person's needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often uses short exercises and homework to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. When used online, DBT can include focused skills practice and step-by-step coaching for coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm what formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in around a work break or avoiding travel time. They also allow skill practice and worksheets to be shared between meetings, which can help with progress from week to week.
