About Christina

Christina (Crissy) Irrgang-Wade is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota with 11 years of clinical experience. She brings a trauma-informed approach to her work, including attention to intergenerational trauma, and is certified to provide tele-mental health services to clients who prefer remote care.

Christina is trained in a range of intervention styles, such as Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and she also offers Brainspotting, a brain-body technique used to address emotional trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and other mental health challenges. She describes her manner as patient, understanding, and nonjudgmental, and centers the client as the expert in their own story while identifying strengths that support healing and change.

She has experience working with teens on issues like anger management, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, and she also enjoys working with adults and older adults. Christina has many years of experience working with Native American communities, including knowledge of Ojibwe culture, and she aims to support and empower people as they take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Healing

Christina integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy approaches into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed growth, which is helpful for building confidence and addressing self-esteem issues. CBT is a structured approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns to improve relationship and intimacy-related issues by helping clients understand and shift interaction cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best align with their goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors techniques so therapy feels practical and relevant to the individual or family.

Online sessions offer practical advantages such as flexible scheduling and the ability to meet from home or another convenient location. Christina provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication styles and life demands, helping make consistent care more accessible for busy schedules and varied needs.
