Hi, I’m Cristina Yaffa, LCSW. For over a decade I’ve helped individuals and families work through anxiety, OCD, depression, panic, ADHD, and stress, blending CBT and certified DBT skills with genuine warmth. If you’re ready for steady, practical support, I’d love to connect with you.
My approach is practical and collaborative. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy, I help you notice the patterns driving your anxiety, panic, or low mood, and build concrete skills for regulating emotions and responding differently in hard moments. I also draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness-based tools, and motivational interviewing when you’re working toward a change you’re not sure you’re ready for yet. Sessions may be in person or by telehealth depending on what we’re working on, and I keep things grounded, structured, and focused on real progress between sessions, not just talk.
Your first session is about understanding what’s going on and what you want to change. We’ll talk through what’s bringing you in, whether that’s anxiety, OCD, depression, panic, ADHD, or the stress of everyday life, and start mapping out a plan that fits your schedule and your goals. Depending on what we’re working on, we may meet by telehealth or in my Jupiter area office. I offer morning telehealth availability on weekdays for clients working with insurance. You’ll leave with a clear sense of how we’ll work together and what to expect next, and you never need to have it all figured out before you reach out.
