About Christina

Christina Miller is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Alabama with 20 years of experience. She focuses on practical, real-world steps to reduce stress and manage anxiety.

Background and approach

Christina talks through relationship and parenting concerns in a clear, direct way so people can try small changes between sessions. She uses familiar methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Christina also draws on the Gottman Method when addressing communication and closeness in relationships. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe painful chapters of their lives into stories that feel more manageable.

Christina works with many concerns including depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and self-esteem. She also supports people coping with life change, caregiver stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Additional focuses include blended family challenges, infidelity, fertility and fatherhood issues, and family of origin patterns. Her sessions are collaborative and solution-focused.

She helps clients set realistic goals and practices new skills during and between meetings. Christina believes the client is the expert on their life and aims to help them build tools that fit daily routines.

Therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. International clients who speak English may participate.

Christina emphasizes straightforward steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How Christina Brings Therapy Online

Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method in online work. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that make problems worse and then testing small changes to see what helps. The Gottman Method centers on improving communication and rebuilding emotional connection, which can be useful for resolving repeated fights and boosting closeness.

She approaches treatment collaboratively, helping clients choose which methods to try based on goals and preferences. Together they review what is working, adjust strategies, and pick simple exercises to practice between meetings. The choice of approach can shift as needs change, and the therapist helps guide that decision-making process.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing facial cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are handy for brief check-ins, ongoing support, and keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to get consistent help without long commutes or scheduling barriers.
