Christina Sharp
(she/her)
Hello, I am Christina Sharp. I received my Masters in Social Work from the University of Missouri and went on to get my clinical license (LCSW). I reside in Missouri and I am licensed in Missouri, Nevada, Illinois and Massachusetts. I have worked for clinics and have seen clients in-person, via telehealth, and in-home. I now have my own private practice and see client's via telehealth. I am a wife and a mother to an amazing young daughter, who I love to spend my off time with. I am also an animal lover with three of my own; my 8yr old dog Phoenix, and my litter-mate 11yr old cats Radar and Ziva. My self-care includes spending time out in nature with my family, including getting my hands dirty in my garden. I enjoy reading and spending quality time with my young child. Over the winter months, I also enjoy crocheting and learning new skills.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. I have an intake assessment that I will go through to get a full rounded picture of your life. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. I always want my clients to feel comfortable with sharing because I know allowing ourselves to be vulnerable can be very difficult. I ask that my clients only share what they are comfortable with and if they are not ready to talk about struggles, that is okay too. I appreciate that my clients are here seeking assistance in their journey and I will work at that pace that is necessary for each individual client.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I started my social work career in 2015 and have worked in several capacities to help clients achieve goals. I have worked with the state of Missouri in child welfare, intensive in-home services, community mental health case-worker, and as a therapist. I am passionate about working with people at their pace and meeting them where they are at in their journey. I am most passionate about helping those with trauma and cator most of my trainings to continuing my education about trauma.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am passionate about working with clients who have experienced trauma. I adapt to the needs of individual clients, as each person experiences trauma differently. My clients have symptoms of trauma that have manifested in many different ways. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious. I also enjoy working with young professionals who are in the first few years of their careers and people who struggle with anxiety.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a very common technique used in talk therapy to help client's understand how their thoughts and actions are related. I use this skill in conjunction with other techniques that best suit my client's needs.
EMDR
EMDR can be used with many clients experiencing intense reactions to situations. When I use EMDR, I focus first on coping mechanisms so my client's are comfortable processing both in session and between sessions.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I feel mindfulness is at the root of most coping mechanisms and what allows our bodies to connect with out thoughts and feelings. I am certified in Mindfulness Training and use a lot of mindfulness based skills throughout my sessions.

I was very scared about have a provider over the internet however I have been so comfortable talking with Christina. She listens and doesn't judge you at all no matter how silly you sound or how overwhelmed you are. I have look forward to our sessions every week. She has helped me see what my life is worth and I'm more then thankful for that!! I can now see what my life could and can be without others bringing me down anymore. Thank You Christina for saving me...........
