About Christina
Christina Gower is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who helps people manage anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar concerns, sleep trouble, and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing grief, anger, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Christina uses a warm, respectful style to make conversations feel safe and straightforward.
She draws on several evidence-informed approaches to fit each person’s needs. Sessions are practical and focused on skills people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Christina emphasizes clear goals and steady steps rather than one-size-fits-all plans. Christina has eight years of clinical experience working in varied settings. That background includes work with people navigating mood disorders, trauma reactions, personality-related concerns, and challenges tied to caregiving and first responder roles.
Her experience informs a calm, steady approach in sessions. In practice she blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness, and client-centered listening. That allows her to teach coping skills, help with emotional regulation, and support values-based choices.
She focuses on what helps a person move forward in daily life. People can expect a straightforward, nonjudgmental conversation that centers their priorities. Christina works to make therapy useful and manageable, with steps that fit someone’s schedule and real-world demands.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit real life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck avoiding discomfort. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or sleep disruption. It teaches concrete techniques people can use between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether ACT, CBT, or a client-centered and mindful way of working feels like the best fit. That choice is guided by a person’s goals, daily demands, and what feels manageable in practice.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone sessions work well when video is not convenient, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people maintain continuity of care, try tools in real situations, and schedule help around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
