Christina Mayhaus, LPC, LMHC

Christina Mayhaus is an Ohio-based licensed counselor who brings 16 years of experience working with children, teens, young adults, and adults. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Cincinnati and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Xavier University. Christina holds LPC and LMHC credentials - professional licenses that indicate training and authorization to provide clinical mental health care.

Her practice emphasizes tailoring therapy to the unique needs of each person, adapting methods and pace so treatment fits the client rather than forcing the client to fit a single model. Christina applies evidence-based techniques and is EMDR trained, which enables focused work on trauma and related symptoms. She commonly supports people confronting stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to LGBTQ identities.

Christina works collaboratively with clients to set goals and track progress, paying attention to family of origin issues, communication patterns, guilt and shame, and the transitions of young adulthood. Her approach centers on helping clients build self-compassion and practical skills for daily life while fostering an open environment where growth and change can occur.

Evidence-based approaches for online healing and growth

Christina brings EMDR training to her online practice - a structured approach that helps people process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of distressing symptoms. EMDR can be especially helpful for those who have experienced abuse, post-traumatic stress, or other trauma-related concerns.

In addition to EMDR, Christina uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to issues like anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. These approaches focus on building practical coping skills, exploring patterns that contribute to emotional distress, and promoting healthier ways of relating to oneself and others.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work Christina offers. She partners with clients to identify goals, test different strategies, and adjust the plan based on needs, preferences, and progress. Clients can expect a team-oriented process that respects their pace and priorities.

Online therapy with Christina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access from home or other locations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive consistent support across different communication styles.
