I was very skeptical about talking to a "stranger", but Cristiano makes me feel like I'm just talking to one of my friends. He's very easy to open up to. He's also funny which is a bonus.

More about Cristiano
- 3 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW, LICSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, and uncertainty about what comes next. I especially enjoy supporting people who may appear to be doing well outwardly but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsettled within.
My therapy style is warm, grounded, and reflective. I use CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and experiential approaches to help you understand your patterns, reconnect with yourself, and make meaningful changes that align with your values.
Therapy does not have to begin in a crisis. It can be a space to slow down, gain clarity, and intentionally explore the next chapter of your life. If you value personal growth and are ready to better understand yourself, I would be honored to support you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
