Christina Mossaad, AASW

Christina Mossaad is credentialed in Australia with AASW and brings over 20 years of professional work experience, including five years of focused therapeutic support. AASW refers to the Australian Association of Social Workers, signifying professional affiliation within the social work field. Christina works with people dealing with stress and anxiety, parenting challenges, motivation and self-esteem difficulties, and the practical strains of coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.

She also addresses a wide range of related concerns such as attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose questions, mood and panic disorders, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety. Christina operates from a strengths-based, client-centred stance, recognising that each person is the expert on their own story and has resources to draw on when facing challenges. Taking the first step towards a more fulfilling life often requires courage, and Christina offers steady support and collaborative guidance as clients work towards clearer goals and greater resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and learn practical skills to act in line with those values, while developing greater psychological flexibility; it is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating formed in close relationships and supports people to build safer, more secure emotional connections, which can help with attachment issues, relationship difficulties and caregiver stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering structured tools for issues such as panic, mood disorders and social anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina works collaboratively with clients to decide which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences. The aim is to tailor a plan that fits each person rather than imposing a single technique.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging provides practical flexibility for people balancing work, family and caregiving responsibilities. These options make it easier to access appropriately qualified or registered professionals from home, reduce travel time, and allow sessions to fit into busy schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
