My desire is to help you learn how to express who you are and to experience growth within your family and other systems surrounding you. I hope to help you with developing good intuition, creating healthy connections, and becoming more of your authentic self. I want you to experience more joy and peace within your life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Christina is absolutely amazing and I am so lucky to have her in my life and as my therapist. I would recommend her to anyone!
She was the first therapist that I was assigned to and I feel so lucky! She is very kind and understanding and I never feel judged about the things we talk about. I would recommend Christina to anyone!
Christina is very attentive to my concerns. She answers me n a timely manner and helps find the answers I need. She keeps in touch with me and check on me regularly. This is my first experience with a therapist and she has made it worth it.
She is so great. She's been helping me sort through some work-related trauma and has been so patient and kind when I turtle and don't answer for weeks. I appreciate her so damn much.
Christina is a blessing and I would highly advise her to anyone that has marital issues and that needs to comfort of someone with a biased opinion.
Christina has been just the right fit for me. If you’re looking for a balance of compassion and knowledge she’s yours too.
She is absolutely amazing and I wouldn’t know what to do without her
She’s seriously amazing and very attentive. She asks the right questions without being pushy. Nor is she is pushOVER. I’d highly recommend her.
A therapist who truly holistically understands you and helps you reach understandings you never thought possible for difficult situations
Christina Stakely has been a positive influence in my life, and I really do appreciate all of the help that she has been giving me.
Christina has given light to things that I had never seen or noticed but are very fundamental to how I think and feel about a lot of things. I have a lot of work to do on myself and she’s been an amazing partner for me on this journey. I cannot recommend her enough.
She is the best and I don’t know what I would do without her. She has changed my life and I have able to better deal with my anxiety because of her
Christina has been extremely helpful so far. She seems to grasp the root of the issues I share with her and helps shine a light on them for me as well as providing resources to help me navigate things. I’m looking forward to continuing my healing with Christina.
She’s very calm and understanding.
Christina is an awesome therapist who offers great insight and understanding
Christina has been great and is very knowledgeable. She offers a lot of unique suggestions and really cares about the patient results.
I was in a very dark place around December last year. I have gone through a lot of trauma with multiple close family deaths and other terrible incidents that happened all at the same time that I felt like drowning in my emotions and anxiety. If it wasn’t for Christina , I would not be where I am today…someone who is stronger and overcame her trauma and now has the tools to help deal with daily situations that in the past I didn’t know how to handle. She is an angel and I would recommend her to anyone in any situation!
Christina is an amazing counselor with amazing experience that she regularly pulls from. I feel comfortable and safe enough to tell her things I would never dream of telling anyone.
Christina is a fantastic therapist -- a wonderful, supportive listener with useful advice and a larger plan to improve my mental health.
Christina is amazing! There are not enough words to describe how thankful I am to have Christina in my life. I have gone through a lot of terrible things in my life these last few months, and if it wasn’t for her and the support of friends, I don’t think I would have been able to handle it as well as I have. She is always there, responds promptly, and gives me ideas on how to deal with it. I cannot thank her enough for her time, support, and compassion.
I haven’t been with her long, but so far I like her. She’s knowledgeable and responds quickly. She’s also sent me a lot of resources that look helpful too.
So far Christina has been very supportive and understanding of whatever I throw at her.
Christina has been very attentive to me by responding to my texts quickly, I really do appreciate that. We are going to try a live online session soon.
Christina has been a great resource for me to turn to when life gets me down and starts to spin outta control. Christina has some real wisdom behind her advice.
Christina has truly been a godsend for me. I've only been working with her for a couple weeks so far, and already in our first two weeks of meetings and messaging I am noticing a great deal of healing. After both calls, I was in a much better place mentally and emotionally than I was beforehand, and left feeling hopeful, motivated, and supported. She offers a variety of tangible, actionable methods of healing and self-discovery for every challenge I'm experiencing. Her expertise and experience matches everything I've been needing to address in therapy. Not only has she provided me with useful tools to help manage symptoms of anxiety, excessive stress, sleep issues, ADHD, and depression, she has helped me address other aspects of my life that I've really been struggling with, from implementing a healthier lifestyle, setting SMART goals, creating routines, grief, trauma, etc. I am so grateful to have been matched with Christina, and truly look forward to continuing to heal and grow while working with her.
I’m only a week or so in, but I felt my first video chat with Christina was helpful and positive and left me looking forward to more.
I have really liked working with Christina. She takes the time to ask questions and understand my goals. She shares her perspective on the situation in an honest and non-judgmental way. I really like that she encourages me to independently use resources outside of our sessions. Best counselor I've ever had!
Christina is wonderful and very relatable, reliable and knowledgeable.
I really like Christina. She's the only one I wanted even after taking a 6 month break.
Christina has been the best therapist I have ever had. She is non-judgmental and very caring.
