Christina Smith, M. Ed, LPCC, Therapist in Cincinnati, Ohio

Christina has extensive experience supporting children and adolescents with childhood behavior issues, attention difficulties, and emotional regulation concerns. She partners closely with families to improve communication, reinforce parenting strategies, and create supportive home environments. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based techniques, she equips clients with skills to manage overwhelming emotions, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and increase self-confidence.

Her clinical focus includes ADHD, PTSD/trauma, and anxiety, while also offering support for depression, grief, women’s issues, and midlife transitions. Christina works with diverse populations, including individuals in adoption and foster care systems, those on the autism spectrum, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. She recognizes that mental health is deeply connected to identity, environment, and lived experience, and she provides affirming, developmentally appropriate care across the lifespan—from young children to older adults.

Christina integrates holistic perspectives into her work, understanding the connection between mind and body in trauma recovery and emotional wellness. She emphasizes collaboration, creativity, and practical skill-building so clients can apply what they learn in therapy to everyday life.

Outside of her clinical practice, Christina enjoys hiking, attending live music events, and exploring holistic health practices. She is passionate about continuing her education, particularly in integrating yoga and movement into trauma-informed care, reflecting her belief in whole-person healing.
