Christina Briggs, LCSW

Christina Briggs is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of practice in Mississippi. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Christina aims to create a straightforward space where people can speak frankly about what worries them and what they want to change.

She works in a warm, nonjudgmental way and encourages practical steps readers can try between sessions. Conversations tend to focus on identifying stressful patterns, building coping skills, and improving motivation. Christina draws on evidence-based tools to help people respond differently to hard feelings and situations.

Her approach blends behavioral techniques with strategies for emotional regulation and present-moment awareness. That mix is useful for people dealing with substance use concerns, persistent anxiety, or ongoing family strains. Christina also supports those facing life transitions related to adoption, abandonment, chronic illness, and aging and geriatric issues.

She keeps work focused and goal-oriented while respecting each person’s pace. Sessions include skill practice, problem-solving, and checking what helps in daily life. Christina emphasizes collaboration so people leave with clear next steps.

If someone is nervous about starting, she acknowledges the courage it takes and helps make the first steps manageable. Prospective clients can expect a direct, empathetic clinician who centers real-world solutions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy methods in simple, actionable ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with everyday experiments to reduce anxiety and change behavior. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can be helpful for trauma, substance use, and chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques that fit a person’s needs, and adjust methods as progress is made. This collaborative process helps identify what feels most useful for each person.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where problems occur, then bring observations back to sessions. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and format details so session plans match daily routines and technical needs.
