About Christina

Christina Stuckey is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who focuses on helping people manage stress, sleep problems, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She creates a calm, respectful space where clients can talk about what matters most to them. Her approach is collaborative - clients set goals and she helps them find ways to reach them.

Christina earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Purdue University and a master’s in social work from Loyola University Chicago. Over the past 10 years she has worked in hospitals, outpatient settings, and virtual care, offering both individual and group therapy. Those varied settings shaped a practical style that adapts to each person’s situation.

In session she uses a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. That means she listens closely, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, teaches simple mindfulness practices, and looks at patterns that may be holding someone back. She invites feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Christina often supports people coping with grief, trauma, relationship strain, caregiver stress, career questions, and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues like ADHD-related struggles, panic, phobias, and eating or sleeping concerns. Her style aims to be down-to-earth and practical so clients can use what they learn in day-to-day life.

To begin, clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. Christina speaks English and practices as an LCSW in Indiana.

How Christina uses therapy approaches online

Christina often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy when working with clients. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic, and sleep issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short exercises to bring attention to the present moment, which can reduce rumination and calm racing thoughts.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy ideas, which means sessions begin with listening and follow the client’s priorities. Deciding which approaches to use is a team effort - she will work with clients to match methods to their goals, needs, and what feels most helpful in practice.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, cut down on travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Christina adapts tools like CBT worksheets and short mindfulness practices so they work in remote sessions and in day-to-day routines.
