About Christina

Christina Medis is a Florida-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who supports people facing relationship struggles, family and parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, stress and anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, anger, career transitions, depression, coaching needs, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She also addresses related areas such as attachment and abandonment wounds, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, fertility and fatherhood issues, and the fallout from separation or disaster. With nine years of clinical experience, she draws on a broad set of skills to help clients navigate difficult change and reconnect with their values.

Her therapeutic manner is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental, fostering a collaborative atmosphere where clients’ strengths are central. Christina uses an integrative stance and adapts methods to individual needs, incorporating Internal Family Systems alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed techniques as well as solution-focused and systemic strategies.

Her aim is to empower clients to discover practical steps toward their goals while exploring underlying patterns that affect relationships and well-being. Christina works with clients across Florida and offers multiple online session formats to increase accessibility.

She encourages those ready to make changes to begin with a brief matching process and schedule sessions according to availability.

Online Therapy Using Integrative and Parts-Based Approaches



Internal Family Systems is an approach that invites clients to notice and dialogue with different parts of themselves, helping to reduce internal conflict and clarify values; it is often useful for trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaborative exploration so that clients can find their own solutions and build self-directed change; this is helpful for life transitions, emotional struggles, and relational concerns. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and teaches skills for managing stress, emotional reactivity, and persistent negative thinking.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in sessions, then tailor methods over time rather than prescribing a single technique from the start.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility for people juggling work, family, and other demands. Video calls enable face-to-face connection, phone sessions provide an accessible alternative, and live chat or text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit therapeutic work into a busy life while drawing on the same therapeutic principles as in-person treatment.
