Corina Istanich

Corina Istanich is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who brings a faith-informed perspective to her work, shaped by her undergraduate and master’s education at Palm Beach Atlantic University, a Christian university. She approaches counseling with the belief that faith can be a meaningful source of support and guidance, and she integrates this mindset into the way she shows up in the therapeutic relationship.

With 10 years of experience in the counseling field, Corina has spent much of her career in an inpatient addictions center and has also provided outpatient and in-home therapy through community agencies. Her background includes working with children as young as four through adults in their sixties, along with offering family therapy. Across these settings, she has supported clients navigating concerns such as substance use, stress, anger, communication challenges, relationship and family conflict, and other day-to-day life struggles.

Corina primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while drawing from other approaches when they better fit a client’s needs. She aims to build a compassionate, empathetic connection that is both honest and encouraging, offering sensitivity alongside directness to help clients move toward practical change. Her work often emphasizes coping skills, boundaries, and communication, with the intention of improving both overall well-being and the quality of important relationships. Corina prefers video sessions when possible, and can also meet by phone or live chat when needed, with flexibility encouraged through messaging if scheduling accommodations are required.
