Christina Stuckey, LCSW

Christina Stuckey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings a pragmatic, collaborative approach to therapy. She earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Purdue University and completed her master’s in social work at Loyola University Chicago. Over the years Christina has provided individual and group therapy across hospitals, outpatient settings, and through virtual sessions, developing experience with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family issues, grief, and challenges related to life changes.

Her practice centers on creating a space where clients feel comfortable sharing thoughts, feelings, dreams, struggles, and successes. Christina works with clients to identify goals and the barriers that stand in the way of progress, then partners with them to develop healthier coping strategies or to remove obstacles when possible. She encourages ongoing feedback so sessions remain tailored to each person’s needs and values client input about what is or is not helpful. Christina describes therapy as a collaborative process in which the client is the expert and she offers supportive guidance and constructive feedback.

As a licensed clinician, Christina aims to help people find practical, meaningful change and looks forward to supporting those ready to begin that work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christina integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on meeting the person where they are, offering empathy and support while helping clients explore their values, relationships, and sense of self - an approach that can be particularly helpful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. CBT is a structured, skills-oriented method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which many people find useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and panic symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, offering practical tools for stress reduction and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christina works collaboratively with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to adapt methods over time so care remains aligned with what is most helpful for that person. She values client feedback and tailors interventions accordingly.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to engage in ongoing work with licensed professionals and therapists while balancing life, work, and other responsibilities.
