Getting to know Christina White
Do you often ask yourself, “What is my life's purpose?” or struggle with emptiness each day? Are you finding it difficult to make life decisions amid feelings of uncertainty, fearing you will always make the wrong choice? Do you question your current relationships but struggle with patterns such as manipulation, attachment issues, co-dependency, problems setting boundaries, narcissism-controlled environments, and emotional abuse? I understand the pressures of life during these transitional stages.
Licensed in Illinois and Pennsylvania as an LCSW, I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. With over 15 years of experience, I work with young and middle-aged adults navigating a journey toward empowerment, self-discovery, and self-love. I have specialized experience in life transitions, narcissistic abuse syndrome, co-dependency, trauma, depression, anxiety, and stress.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My counseling style is laid back, and empathetic. I like to focus on the individual and help them realize that they hold all the power to change and work through any issues that are troubling them. I am simply someone there as that support to help bring it out and guide them on their journey. The treatment methods I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic and Motivational Interviewing.
The first step in change is reaching out and exploring what could be different. Together we can work towards a life of more freedom and change and overcome the barriers that hold you back. I look forward to working with you!

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
