About Christa
Christa Haney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She uses a warm, down-to-earth manner to make sessions feel natural and collaborative. Her aim is to reduce shame and help people move toward a more balanced life.
Christa spends time getting to know each person beyond their symptoms. She talks through thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors so clients can make small, practical changes.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize honest conversation and real-life skills people can use every day. Her background includes five years of counseling experience and work in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Christa draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide sessions.
She combines those methods with practical support and coaching to help clients try new ways of coping. Christa often helps people dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and concerns around identity, including LGBT issues. She also addresses related struggles like guilt, forgiveness, loneliness, and finding life purpose.
The focus is on building tools that fit each person’s daily routine. Sessions may include skill-building, values clarification, and step-by-step behavior changes. Christa aims to meet people where they are and tailor the pace to what feels manageable.
Her practice is based in West Virginia and she conducts work in English.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Christa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and focuses on small, testable steps people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and lift mood.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which encourages people to clarify their values and take committed action even when uncomfortable feelings are present. This approach helps with managing stress, building meaning, and working through identity concerns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christa will discuss different techniques and tailor them to each person’s goals, preferences, and life situation. She aims to match methods to what feels useful and doable rather than following a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions and live chat can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Text-based messaging is useful for brief check-ins or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or other obligations.
