Background and approach
She draws on cognitive and mindfulness tools to break unhelpful patterns. Her work is inclusive and affirming of LGBT people and others who face identity-related stress. She also supports people dealing with addiction, career pressures, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
Clients bring a wide range of concerns including grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and challenges tied to family of origin or attachment. Christy sometimes uses creative methods that fit a client’s interests, such as storytelling or role-play drawn from games and books. She explains ideas clearly and connects tools to a person’s everyday life.
Sessions balance skill-building with space to process feelings. With 12 years of experience, Christy aims to help people grow practical coping skills and make steady progress toward their goals. She meets people where they are and works with them to find what helps most.
How her approaches fit with online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own solutions. This approach can help when someone needs acceptance and support while working through anxiety or identity concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and depression because it gives clear tools to practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes practical exercises for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better communication, which can be useful for people facing intense stress or recurring mood challenges.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. That plan can change over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill coaching, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging lets someone send updates or questions between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and keep steady contact with a licensed professional.
