About

Christina Bonniwell is a LIMFT based in Ohio who brings eight years of front-line clinical work to her therapeutic practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment patterns, codependency, and chronic pain or illness. Her background includes roles in psychiatric inpatient units, crisis stabilization, substance use treatment, county behavioral health clinics, and skilled nursing facilities, which informs a practical, hands-on approach to helping people in high-stress moments.

Christina works with children, teenagers, adults, veterans, active-duty service members, and older adults, meeting clients where they are and tailoring work to each persons goals. She emphasizes a trauma-informed, client-centered stance and describes therapy as collaborative rather than prescriptive. Christina aims to create sessions that feel alive and purposeful, incorporating creativity and, when appropriate, play-based methods for younger clients. Her practice places value on steady presence, direct engagement, and finding approaches that fit each individuals pace and life circumstances.

Remote care with a trauma-informed, client-centered focus



Christina applies a trauma-informed stance that prioritizes understanding how past experiences influence current responses. In remote sessions she listens for patterns linked to trauma and collaborates with clients to build strategies that feel manageable in daily life. This approach is attentive to safety and pacing while centering the clients priorities and goals.

She also practices a client-centered style that treats each person as the expert on their own life. That means sessions are shaped by the clients values and preferred pace, with Christina offering reflection, direct feedback, and practical tools when requested. For younger clients she has used play-based techniques to make communication developmentally appropriate and engaging.

Christina works with clients via video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options support a collaborative relationship where the mode of communication is chosen to match the clients needs and circumstances rather than following a fixed template.
