Christina Javete, LMHC

Christina Javete is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings eight years of counseling experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addictions. Christina works with veterans and emphasizes a respectful, sensitive approach in every interaction.

She uses practical, evidence-informed methods rather than abstract theory. Sessions center on real-life skills for handling strong emotions, improving self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Christina aims to make therapy a place to process painful experiences and build motivation for change.

Her approach often combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. That means clients can expect work on unhelpful thinking patterns, learning tools to calm the body and mind, and finding personal reasons to keep making progress. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are also part of what she offers for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Christina tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation. She focuses on skills people can use between sessions and on small, achievable steps toward goals. The work includes practical strategies for relationships, communication problems, isolation, and finding life purpose.

People who come for help with panic, mood concerns, postpartum changes, trauma, or anger will find a therapist who values clarity and compassion. She supports clients through decision points like pregnancy and childbirth, relocation, or transitions related to military service. The aim is steady progress, not quick fixes.

Practical approaches for online work and skill building

Christina often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and panic. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. That approach is useful for addictions, low motivation, and moments when someone feels stuck. Deciding which methods to use is collaborative; the therapist and client choose what fits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences as they go.

Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules and life transitions. If you are considering remote care, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it simpler to attend from different locations, arrange shorter check-ins, or avoid travel while keeping consistent progress. Licensed professionals guide the selection of exercises and homework that suit your day-to-day routine, so therapy can support steady change without upending your schedule.
