Corina Istanich, LMHC

Corina Istanich is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), a professional credential that indicates state licensure to provide mental health counseling services. She completed both her undergraduate and master’s education at Palm Beach Atlantic University, a Christian university, and she integrates her faith-informed perspective into the way she approaches counseling, viewing her work through a Christian lens.

Corina has spent much of her career supporting people in an in-patient addictions setting and has also provided out-patient and in-home therapy through community agencies. Her background includes working with children as young as age 4 through adults in their 60s, along with providing family therapy. Across these settings, she has helped clients navigate concerns such as family conflict, relationship and communication difficulties, drug and alcohol use, anger, stress, coping skills, and other life challenges.

Her primary clinical approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and she also draws from other modalities when it is a good fit for the client’s needs. Corina focuses on building a genuine, compassionate therapeutic relationship and aims to be both empathetic and appropriately direct in helping clients work toward solutions related to current concerns and past experiences. She emphasizes practical tools such as coping skills, boundaries, and communication strategies to support improved day-to-day wellbeing and healthier relationships over time.

Corina prefers video sessions when possible because seeing one another can add important context in therapy, while also offering phone or live chat when video is not available. If a preferred meeting time is not listed, she encourages clients to message her to explore scheduling options.
