Cristina Juisti, LPC

Cristina Juisti is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience in community mental health in the Greater Philadelphia region. She draws on that background to help people who feel overwhelmed by daily demands, stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Her approach emphasizes finding realistic hope and small steps that add up over time.

She keeps sessions direct and person-focused. Cristina creates a nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what they are feeling and what is getting in the way of living the life they want. She listens for strengths people already have, then helps them test new ways of responding to old problems.

Her work often focuses on mood concerns, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. She also addresses caregiver stress, abandonment issues, body image, social anxiety, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and other life changes. Cristina uses tools that help people notice patterns and try different behaviors to change outcomes.

In practical terms, she blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing. That mix supports both understanding and action - noticing how thoughts affect feelings and then trying small, doable changes.

People who come to her can expect a collaborative pace. The emphasis is on clear goals and steps that suit each person’s day-to-day life. Readers in Pennsylvania who want to begin can follow the site’s process to match and schedule sessions.

How Cristina’s Approaches Shape Online Work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood problems.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and strengths. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and supports clients as they decide which changes feel right for them. This approach fits concerns like self-esteem, grief, and feeling overwhelmed.

Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused style that helps people find their own motivation to change. It is useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about making a new choice in life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Decisions about methods happen collaboratively and can shift over time as needs change.
