01About Christina
Christina Gower is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and related concerns. She also supports people struggling with mood instability, ADHD, grief, sleep problems, anger, and issues tied to identity and relationships. Christina practices from Missouri and offers online formats to fit different needs.
Her approach is warm and interactive. Sessions are held without judgment and focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Christina adapts methods to each person's goals rather than using a single formula. She uses a mix of strategies drawn from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior tools, and mindfulness. That means clients may practice noticing thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and learning skills for emotion regulation.
Conversation is balanced with simple exercises that aim to make daily life easier. Christina has eight years of counseling experience. She has worked in settings that handled short-term and longer-term difficulties, so she is comfortable helping with both acute stress and ongoing struggles.
Her background helps her recognize common patterns and offer concrete options. People who reach out can expect collaborative planning and a focus on what helps day to day. Christina listens for what matters most and then helps build steps toward those goals.
She invites questions about how therapy will work and what to try next.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Christina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas for emotion regulation and interpersonal skills when those tools fit a person's needs. DBT-based strategies can help when strong emotions lead to impulsive reactions or difficulties managing stress. Christina works collaboratively with each person to pick approaches that match their goals and preferences rather than assuming one method will fit everyone.
Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual connection, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging allows shorter, ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, caregiving, or other routines while trying different approaches to see what helps most.
