Christina Steele-Lietz, LMSW, LCSW

Christina Steele-Lietz approaches therapy as a partnership - a confidante, teacher, and equal who listens without judgment and helps clients explore practical solutions. She combines compassionate listening with clear identification of facts to support people as they navigate pain, loss, and life transitions. Together with clients she focuses on building a lifestyle grounded in the client’s values - learning ways to respond to what cannot be controlled, practicing self-soothing through distress, and clarifying who they are and who they want to become.

Christina brings 20 years of professional experience to her work and holds both LMSW and LCSW credentials. LMSW stands for Licensed Master Social Worker and LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, indicating advanced training and clinical practice in social work. She has particular experience helping people manage stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to LGBTQ matters.

Her therapeutic space is open and nonjudgmental, intended for honest sharing of thoughts and feelings without fear of rejection. Christina emphasizes courage and self-care in the decision to seek help and offers steady support throughout the process. Clients who work with her can expect a collaborative approach that honors their priorities and helps them move toward a more fulfilling and resilient life.
