About Cristina

Cristina Lopez-Mera is a licensed mental health counselor with twenty years of clinical experience. She works from Florida and supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and issues around identity and self-esteem. Cristina speaks English and Spanish and combines practical skills with a calm, straightforward manner.

She uses Existential approaches to help clients name what matters most and to face life changes with clearer direction. She also draws on Client-Centered methods to build trust and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors.

Background and approach

Mindfulness practices are offered for people who want relaxation and present-moment tools. Cristina has worked across a wide range of concerns, including relationship struggles, career stress, family-of-origin problems, immigration issues, and challenges related to aging. She helps people sort priorities, manage emotions, and set achievable goals.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to match each person’s needs. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She explains techniques in plain language and focuses on steps people can use between sessions.

Cristina also integrates life-balance strategies and, when appropriate, motivational interviewing to support change. Clients can expect practical tools and steady support for both short-term goals and longer journeys. The practice accommodates different session formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort level.

Online support

How existential and practical approaches work online

Existential Therapy helps people clarify values and purpose when life feels uncertain. Sessions focus on honest questions about meaning, freedom, and responsibility to help people make clearer choices. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the conversation. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and supports each person’s pace so they can find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and introduces specific strategies to manage anxiety, mood, and stress.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. Cristina will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process keeps the focus on real-life changes rather than a fixed technique.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect: video calls for fuller interaction, phone sessions when bandwidth or movement is easier, live chat for short check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules, and to use the format that helps someone engage most effectively.
