Christinia McCollum, LPC

Christinia McCollum, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. She writes in plain terms and focuses on practical steps that people can use. Christinia frames the work around each person’s strengths and lived experience. She recognizes that reaching out for help often takes courage and says she is glad clients have taken that step.

With five years of professional experience, Christinia centers the conversation on what matters most to each person. Sessions look at immediate concerns like panic or low mood and also the patterns that keep those problems returning. She listens for strengths people already use and helps expand them into coping skills that fit daily life.

Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the person in front of her. That means using methods shown to help with anxiety, trauma responses, and depression while keeping explanations clear and concrete. Goals are practical and measurable when possible, with steady steps between visits.

Christinia practices in Alabama and holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. She offers sessions in English and works with issues such as post-traumatic stress, Veteran and Armed Forces issues, seasonal affective disorder, self-harm concerns, impulsivity, social anxiety, loneliness, forgiveness, and self-love.

People who choose her can expect straightforward language, attention to strengths, and gradual skill-building. Before booking, confirm the current session options and scheduling details so you know what fits your needs.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Christinia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that target symptoms and build practical skills. One approach focuses on skills for regulating intense emotions and reducing avoidance. It teaches simple exercises people can practice during the week to lower anxiety and manage anger. Another approach emphasizes processing trauma-related memories and reactions in a paced way, helping reduce distressing reminders and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That process includes checking back regularly and adjusting techniques when something isn’t helping.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy day. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or sessions without video when people prefer less bandwidth or a quieter interaction. Talk with Christinia about what will fit your routine and her available ways of meeting so you can pick the best option.
