Christina Rolerson , LCSW

Christina Rolerson is a Licensed Clinical Social Work Supervisor with eleven years of experience supporting people through transitional periods in their lives. As an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides clinical mental health services and supervises other clinicians - she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, parenting and marital or relationship challenges, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and ADHD. Much of her work has involved clients with histories of abuse and trauma, and she draws on that experience when helping people navigate recovery and growth.

Her approach is client-centered and strengths-based, grounded in compassion and empathy. She integrates ideas from rational emotive therapy, psychoanalytic perspectives, cognitive behavioral methods, and family systems thinking to create practical, step-by-step plans tailored to each person’s life and goals. Christina uses a collaborative process that values the client’s life experience and current situation, partnering to identify manageable strategies and measurable progress.

She considers it a privilege to assist people as they weather life’s storms and move toward their goals, offering steady support and practical tools along the way.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christina integrates client-centered therapy into her online practice, focusing on meeting each person with empathy and building on their strengths to set goals and make meaningful change. This approach emphasizes the client’s perspective and supports self-directed growth.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Additionally, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - is used to help clients clarify their values and learn mindful, value-guided actions even when difficult emotions arise; ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina works collaboratively to determine what fits best given an individual’s needs, goals, and preferences. She helps clients explore options and adapts techniques over time to support progress.

Online therapy with Christina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and differing communication needs. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional while balancing work, family, and daily life.
