About Christina Gower

Christina Gower is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with eight years of experience in the mental health field. As an LPC she provides professional counseling to adults facing a variety of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem difficulties, bipolar disorder, depression, grief, sleep problems, anger, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

She also works with issues related to abandonment, attachment and personality dynamics, caregiver and first responder stress, codependency, family and communication problems, dissociation, emptiness, and other life disruptions. Her practice addresses both acute stress responses and longer-standing challenges, tailoring care to each individual's situation.

Christina draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based techniques, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused therapy. She combines these methods to meet each person's needs rather than relying on a single uniform approach.

Her therapeutic style is warm, interactive, and non-judgmental, grounded in respect and compassion. Christina collaborates with clients to develop practical coping skills and clearer insight, and she acknowledges the courage it takes to pursue change while offering steady support throughout the process.

A major advantage is flexibility - individuals can connect with a therapist in the way that feels most comfortable, choosing from video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine or to access care from different locations.

Licensed professionals and therapists offer these remote options, and clients may choose to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. For many people, online therapy provides a practical, accessible path to consistent support while allowing therapists to use the same evidence-based approaches they would in person.
