Christina Lopez

Christina Lopez

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for adolescents and adults who are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they want to change.

Maybe you find yourself overthinking everything, struggling to trust others, feeling like you’re never good enough, or having difficulty setting boundaries. Maybe you’ve wondered why certain experiences from your past still affect you—or why you shut down, feel overwhelmed, or keep repeating patterns you want to change.

Sometimes, the experiences we’ve learned to minimize can still shape how we feel, think, and relate to others.

Therapy can be a space to understand the why behind your reactions, process what has happened, and develop a deeper sense of safety, self-trust, and connection.

When you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from carrying everything on your own, it can be difficult to know where to start. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use, and other life challenges who are seeking meaningful, lasting change and a greater sense of balance and well-being.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide virtual therapy for adults throughout North Carolina via Telehealth, offering a supportive space where you can explore what’s weighing on you, build on your strengths, and work toward the life you want to create. You don’t have to navigate all of this on your own. If you’re ready for support and a space to feel heard, I’m here to help you take the next step.
