Christina DeSantis

Christina DeSantis is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker practicing in Massachusetts. She earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from Simmons College and holds a Massachusetts LICSW credential (MA LICSW 118251). With 11 years of experience providing therapy, she has supported people across a range of life challenges.

She has worked with individuals of all ages and has particular experience with addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, family conflict, relationship and intimacy struggles, parenting issues, grief, and compassion fatigue, as well as people coping with life changes and emotional distress related to medical conditions.

Christina does not adhere to a single treatment model; she customizes care to fit each person’s needs. Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, which she applies selectively based on what will best serve the individual.

Her therapeutic approach is grounded in open-mindedness, empathy, and a non-judgmental stance. She aims to be authentic and compassionate while maintaining honesty within the therapeutic relationship, offering a safe space where people can be candid. Christina recognizes that beginning therapy can feel intimidating, and she approaches the work as a guide and supporter as clients tackle meaningful and sometimes difficult changes. She looks forward to walking alongside people through that process.
