About Callie
Callie McKenzie is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of experience in California. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. She aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Callie focuses on practical steps that people can use right away. She helps clients build confidence, cope with life changes, and manage social anxiety or phobias. Conversations are shaped to fit what each person needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Her background includes long-term clinical work in community and outpatient settings across California. That experience informs her approach to mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and attachment concerns. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and decisions.
In sessions Callie pays attention to how communication patterns, guilt, and shame affect daily life. She supports people working on self-love and healthier relationships. The focus is on small, achievable changes that add up over time.
Starting therapy is framed as a collaborative process. Callie will tailor conversations and the treatment plan to match personal goals. She recognizes that every person brings a different story and pace to their work in therapy.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Callie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in a clear, straightforward way. She focuses on approaches that teach practical skills for managing anxiety and mood symptoms, and methods that help process trauma and strengthen self-worth. Each approach is explained in simple terms and applied to daily life.One common approach she uses helps people learn specific skills to manage anxiety and stress. That involves learning ways to notice anxious thoughts, try a different response, and practice new habits between sessions. Another approach focuses on processing traumatic experiences by gently working through memories and reactions so they become less overwhelming and more manageable in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps most. This collaborative process makes it easier to find methods that fit a person's needs and preferences.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different routines. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work when bandwidth is limited. Messaging and live chat let people share updates or get support between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel.
