Christina Balboni, LCSW

Christina Balboni is a California-licensed LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and brings eight years of professional clinical experience to her practice. She has spent over a decade working in the geriatric field and found a deep professional commitment to supporting older adults and their families through life transitions and care concerns.

Her work focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate grief including end-of-life care and loss, and address challenges with motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression. Christina also supports clients who are coping with major life changes and seeks to meet each person where they are in the process.

She approaches treatment with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and individualized care plans to each person’s specific needs and goals. Christina recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and affirms that taking that first step is meaningful. Her practice is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at practical coping and emotional support for clients across the adult lifespan.

Evidence-Based Support for Online Emotional Care

Christina utilizes evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. She offers skills-focused work to help manage anxiety and stress by teaching practical coping strategies and breathing or grounding practices that can reduce day-to-day overwhelm and improve functioning. She also provides focused support for grief and loss, guiding clients through the process of mourning, meaning-making, and preparing for or coping with end-of-life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina works collaboratively with clients to determine which techniques fit their goals, values, and preferences. She adapts her methods over time, checking in regularly to ensure the plan remains aligned with what the client needs.

Online therapy with Christina can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care during life changes, caregiving responsibilities, or when in-person visits are difficult, while preserving the continuity of support provided by licensed professionals and therapists.
