Getting to know Christina McPhail Lucero

Hi there, I'm Christina! I take a flexible, client-centered approach to therapy, tailoring my methods to suit each individual’s needs. I enjoy incorporating techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to help clients work toward their goals. My priority is to listen to each client’s perspective and collaborate with them to find the best path forward, ensuring the approach works for their unique situation. My approach tends to work well with adults in various stages of life, especially during challenging life transitions and the many roles adults play that can be stressful. I also have extensive experience, both personally and professionally, working with children, adolescents, and their families. In all these phases and roles, I have seen individuals experience anxiety, depression, increased stress, and self-destructive behavior. I work with clients to decrease their symptoms and improve their overall well-being. My focus is on helping teens and adults navigate life transitions and manage social pressures, often addressing issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. My goal is to support clients in reducing their symptoms, building coping skills, and fostering a more positive outlook—ultimately helping them feel better about themselves and improve their quality of life. I have a relaxed communication style and approach each client with non-judgment and active listening, regardless of the issue at hand. I incorporate humor when suitable and consistently show empathy. My primary goal is to help clients feel comfortable and trust me, creating a safe space where they can be open and honest. My journey to mental healthcare began after I graduated from Northcentral University with a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy and worked as a Therapeutic Behavioral Specialist. I’ve always had a passion for helping others, and this path has allowed me to support clients in meaningful and lasting ways.
