Christina Macnamara, LCSW

Christina Macnamara brings 29 years of clinical experience supporting adults and children through challenging life changes. She understands that events such as illness, divorce, death, new jobs, and other transitions can leave people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, and she offers steady, practical help to process those feelings and decisions.

As a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - Christina is trained to provide professional mental health care and therapeutic support. Her practice is rooted in a client-centered, solution-focused model and she incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques and relevant psychological theory to create interventions tailored to each person's needs and circumstances.

Christina approaches therapy as a collaborative partnership, working with clients to set goals that may include reducing distress from anxiety, depression, or grief, improving family or relationship functioning, coping with trauma or parenting challenges, or navigating major life transitions. She also addresses issues such as stress, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and caregiver concerns using practical strategies that fit the individual.

Based in Florida, Christina aims to meet people where they are and help them regain clarity, resilience, and forward momentum. She is prepared to be part of a client’s journey and looks forward to supporting meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Christina often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and focuses on taking values-based actions - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps clients find their own solutions - this approach is useful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating identity or parenting concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping skill development.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and needs. She tailors techniques over time so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Christina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward meaningful change.
