Christina Rheingold
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults (18+) experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. With 20 years of experience working with at-risk populations, I have supported individuals navigating complex personal, family, educational, and occupational challenges.
I have helped many individuals ages 18+ struggling with depression, anxiety, and high stress, or who have served in the military and having difficulty adjusting.
My experience includes working with military-affiliated individuals adjusting to civilian life, as well as civilians facing a variety of life circumstances.
First session
In our first session, we will focus on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. You will have the opportunity to share your current concerns, relevant background, and what you hope to gain from treatment at your own pace. I will ask questions to better understand your experiences, symptoms, and any patterns that may be impacting your well-being. We will also review important information such as confidentiality, limits of privacy, and the structure of therapy. Together, we will begin identifying initial goals and discuss a general plan for treatment. You are welcome to ask questions at any time, and there is no expectation to share more than you feel comfortable with. The first session is meant to be a collaborative and supportive starting point for our work together.
Strengths
I bring a genuine, personable, and collaborative approach to therapy, grounded in active listening and respect for each person's unique perspective. I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable speaking openly without fear of judgment. By combining empathy with practical, goal-oriented strategies, I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, improve interpersonal relationships, and develop effective ways to manage life's challenges.
Ideal clients
I work best with adults navigating anxiety, depression, elevated stress, or significant life transitions who are seeking practical ways to manage their emotions, strengthen relationships, and regain a sense of balance. Many feel overwhelmed by competing responsibilities, struggle with emotional reactivity, or find themselves repeating patterns that affect their personal and professional lives. I also support military-affiliated individuals as they navigate life transitions and changing roles and responsibilities. Whether you are working through relationship difficulties, establishing healthier boundaries, improving communication, or learning to respond more effectively to stress, therapy offers an opportunity to deepen self-understanding, build on your existing strengths, and develop practical skills to support meaningful, lasting change. My approach is a good fit for clients who are open to self-reflection and motivated to better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while developing practical skills to manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
