About Crista

Crista Lonergan is an Ohio licensed professional counselor clinical candidate with 10 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Crista creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can name their concerns and try small changes. They speak English and Spanish and bring a practical, down-to-earth approach to sessions.

Background and approach: Crista draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect day-to-day life.

Background and approach

They also use acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and take steps that match their values. Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills, experiments between appointments, and reflections on what matters most to the client.

Crista works with a wide range of concerns including grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, identity questions, and eating or mood challenges. They also help with anger, coping with life changes, ADHD, and issues related to adoption, foster care, and immigration. The aim is to reduce distress and increase a sense of control over life choices.

Therapy style is collaborative and straightforward. Crista listens, reflects what they hear, and offers doable practices to try at home. Progress is checked regularly so plans can change if something isn’t helpful.

Sessions are offered in several formats to fit different needs, and Crista can explain how each option works during an initial conversation. People who want to begin can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Online support

How attachment and evidence-based methods translate online

Attachment-based ideas focus on understanding how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions in close connections. Online sessions can be used to talk through those patterns, practice new ways of relating, and reflect on how relationships affect daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and decisions about life direction by combining mindfulness and practical exercises. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and uses step-by-step experiments to test new beliefs and routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Crista treats the process as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods match a person’s goals and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what’s working and what isn’t.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, skill practice, or quick reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines while using therapeutic approaches that focus on relationships, values, and skill building.
