Christina Lopez is licensed as a Clinical Social Worker in Nevada, Arizona, Texas, and Utah. She holds a Master of Social Work in Adult Mental Health and Wellness from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Addiction Treatment Services from the University of Nevada. She brings more than a decade of clinical experience to her work, beginning as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor in 2015 and practicing as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2021, with a focus on trauma, substance use, and co-occurring conditions across teens and adults.
Christina‘s Approach
Christina works with teens and adults. Many of the people she sees are trying to move forward while dealing with patterns tied to past experiences or substance use. Some are working to rebuild stability after a period of crisis. Others are trying to understand why the same reactions keep showing up in relationships or daily life.
In session, Christina focuses on what is happening now and how it connects to what came before. She helps clients look at how their thoughts, emotional responses, and habits are linked, especially in moments that lead to relapse, conflict, or withdrawal. From there, the work shifts toward finding ways to respond differently in those situations. The goal is to support changes that hold outside the session, particularly in the environments clients return to each day.
