Christina Burnett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania who brings 12 years of experience supporting adults through a wide range of mental health and life challenges. She earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Penn State University (University Park) in 2010 and later completed a master’s degree in social work at the University of New England in 2017.
Christina began her counseling career in 2015 in community mental health and substance use treatment, where she assisted and advocated for adult men and women involved in the criminal and family court systems. After earning her graduate degree, she obtained her Licensed Social Worker (LSW) credential in April 2018 and began clinical supervision. In June 2020, she passed the Pennsylvania Board of Social Work licensure exam and became an LCSW (PA LCSW CW021224). She also earned a Level One Certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy through the National Association of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists in 2018.
Her professional background includes helping adults navigate life transitions, substance use and dependence, relationship concerns, depression, anxiety, and stress tied to legal or workplace pressures. Christina’s style is client-centered and collaborative, drawing from cognitive-behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, empowerment, and solution-focused work to help clients clarify goals, build coping skills, and move toward lasting change.
Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Christina Burnett uses a client-centered style, which means sessions focus on the client’s perspective, strengths, and goals while creating space to talk through what feels most urgent. This approach can be especially helpful when stress, relationship strain, or major life changes make it hard to know where to start.
She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. CBT can support people who want clearer coping tools for anxiety, depression, or patterns that keep getting in the way. Motivational Interviewing is another approach she draws from, helping clients explore ambivalence and strengthen personal motivation for change, including around substance use and other habit patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christina works collaboratively with clients to understand needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts the focus and tools over time so therapy feels relevant and workable.
Online therapy adds flexibility by making it possible to meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to stay engaged in therapy during busy weeks, changing schedules, or when support is needed between sessions.
