Christina Brown, LMHC

Christina Brown, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington, has four years of practice helping people address stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and career concerns. She describes her work as conversational and focused on real-life problems. Christina uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions and helps people cope with life changes.

Her approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. Sessions often include practical skills such as identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing present-moment awareness, and clarifying personal values. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to build emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills.

Christina lists additional focus areas that may appear in sessions. These include abandonment and attachment issues, blended family concerns, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and control issues, communication problems, and family of origin matters. She also notes experience with co-morbidity, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, domestic violence, and coping with disasters.

In a typical session she listens to the client’s concerns, helps set achievable goals, and works on concrete tools to manage symptoms. She favors straightforward conversation and practical exercises over technical jargon. Progress is measured by changes in day-to-day functioning and reduced interference from symptoms.

People who choose her can expect sessions that aim to address immediate problems and build lasting skills for handling stressors and transitions. Her stated style is respectful and sensitive, and she adjusts the dialogue and plan based on each person’s situation.
