Getting to know Cristina Chinchilla
If you are here, you have made the courageous decision to seek help on your healing journey. I want to congratulate you for making that brave choice! My name is Cristina Chinchilla and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Florida and Texas. I help individuals that are healing from trauma, struggling with their identity, feeling hopeless, without purpose, having difficulties navigating current challenges or simply at a loss on how to cope with the messiness of being human. As a therapist, it is important to me that you feel heard, validated and understood. Together we will work on breaking toxic patterns.
I offer virtual therapy sessions using HIPAA compliant software that makes accessing therapy convenient. Schedule your sessions effortlessly from your PC, laptop or download the app to your phone. You can even communicate with your therapist via message between sessions.
Many years of experience has taught me that amazing growth and change can happen with a few months of hard work and focus. If you are ready to reclaim your power and explore what is getting in your way, give me a call or drop me an email and we will figure this out together.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I want you to know that therapy with me is a safe, supportive, and inclusive space where every part of your story is welcome. You don’t need to come in with everything figured out — we’ll start from exactly where you are. My goal is for you to feel heard, validated, and respected, no matter your background, identity, or life experiences.
I work in a compassionate and collaborative way, balancing support with gentle challenges to help you break old patterns and create new ones that align with your values. Most of all, I want you to feel empowered as we work together toward meaningful growth and healing.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My process begins with getting to know you — your history, your strengths, and the challenges that bring you to therapy. Together, we’ll set clear goals and identify what healing and growth mean for you personally. I use a trauma-informed, collaborative approach, which means I’ll listen closely, validate your experiences, and introduce evidence-based strategies tailored to your needs.
Sessions often combine practical coping tools with deeper exploration of patterns and beliefs that may be holding you back. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership — you bring your lived experience, and I bring professional guidance and perspective. Over time, this process helps you build resilience, break old cycles, and create healthier ways of moving through life.
