Christina Macnamara, LCSW

Christina Macnamara is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly three decades of experience helping people navigate hard seasons. She meets people where they are and offers steady, practical support for stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma and abuse. Christina uses clear, everyday language so clients can focus on healing instead of jargon.

She sees therapy as a partnership. Sessions focus on the person in front of her and the problems they bring, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Christina draws on client-centered and solution-focused work to help clients set realistic, manageable goals.

Cognitive behavioral techniques are part of her toolkit when people need concrete ways to change troubling thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to help people accept difficult feelings while moving toward their values. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change.

Christina has worked in clinical social work for 29 years and brings that depth of experience to common life challenges such as parenting strain, relationship problems, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and identity concerns like abandonment or attachment issues. She also addresses ADHD-related struggles and compassion fatigue.

Her background in Florida gives her familiarity with state-specific systems and community resources. She encourages straightforward conversations about goals, coping strategies, and next steps so progress feels practical and measurable.

How her approaches translate to online care

Christina uses client-centered work to focus on each person's priorities. This approach means sessions begin with what matters most to the client and shape goals from there. Solution-focused techniques aim for small, achievable changes and help people notice progress between meetings.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to offer practical strategies for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT tools can be used in short exercises and homework that fit into a busy week, which many people find helpful when they want concrete steps to try outside sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Christina will listen to a person's goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. The plan can shift as needs change, and she looks for approaches that feel useful and realistic for daily life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into the week, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Talk with the therapist about pacing, session length, and tools to use between meetings to make remote work practical and effective.
