Christina Macnamara, LCSW

Christina Macnamara is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 29 years of experience. She helps adults who feel overwhelmed by big life changes and the everyday strain of work, family, illness, grief, or relationship problems. Christina writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person.

She begins by hearing your story and identifying what you want to change. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between visits. Christina uses client-centered and solution-focused methods to keep the work practical and goal-directed. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques when they fit the situation.

Christina treats anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and stress related to caregiving, chronic illness, and life transitions. She supports people managing parenting demands, relationship strain, ADHD, and issues that touch identity like abandonment or attachment concerns. Her approach is straightforward and paced to the person’s needs.

Therapy is framed as a partnership. Christina helps clients set realistic goals and practices skills that reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping. She encourages small experiments and clear steps that build confidence.

Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Florida. Prospective clients are invited to consider what change feels most important and to reach out when they are ready to begin.

How her approaches translate to online care

Christina uses client-centered work that focuses on what matters most to each person, helping clients name priorities and feel heard. This style supports pacing and goal setting whether sessions happen face-to-face or online.

She also uses solution-focused methods that break problems into manageable steps. These short, practical interventions work well in remote sessions because they emphasize clear goals and homework that can be practiced between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which lends itself to structured exercises and tracking progress together.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses to make sure the approach stays useful.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions help them keep momentum between visits while working on practical skills suggested in session.
