Christina Manolatos, LPC

Christina Manolatos creates a welcoming, non-judgmental space where people can explore their thoughts and feelings at a comfortable pace. She affirms that sometimes being truly heard is itself healing, and she offers steady listening paired with thoughtful reflection to help clients better understand internal conflicts and emotional patterns.

Trained to work with both individuals and groups, Christina brings experience addressing a wide range of psychological and emotional concerns, from anxiety disorders to more severe conditions such as psychosis. She earned a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and Psychotherapy, which prepared her to examine how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Christina also holds an LPC credential - a Licensed Professional Counselor - and is a Licensed Clinical Hypnotherapist, combining traditional talk therapy with targeted hypnotherapy techniques when appropriate.

Her clinical style is warm and empathetic, informed strongly by existential and humanistic ideas while also incorporating brain-based methods. Over the years she has worked in diverse settings including mental health hospitals, college counseling, services for unemployed populations, and correctional environments. That varied background supports her ability to navigate crisis, conflict, and issues related to diversity with respect and sensitivity. Christina aims to be a steady collaborator who helps clients name their struggles, identify meaningful goals, and find practical ways to move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christina uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the client's own goals and values guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help with issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life changes.

Her existential therapy focus invites exploration of meaning, choice, and personal responsibility, helping people facing grief, emptiness, or major transitions to clarify values and find ways to live more authentically. Christina also offers hypnotherapy as a targeted tool to address habits, anxiety, and certain trauma-related symptoms through guided relaxation and focused suggestion.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will work with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit.

Online therapy with Christina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules or when in-person visits are not possible. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional while managing day-to-day responsibilities and geographic limitations.
