About Christy
Christy Stinton is a licensed counselor who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or major life changes. She speaks plainly and offers steady support for common struggles like low self-esteem, depression, grief, and career concerns. Her approach suits people who want practical, down-to-earth help rather than clinical jargon.
She draws on 14 years of counseling experience and adapts sessions to each person's needs. Christy blends ideas from cognitive-behavioral work, developmental perspectives, and a person-centered style so conversations stay focused and relevant.
Background and approach
She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, when trauma or painful memories are part of the problem. Sessions are active and collaborative. Christy prefers an interactive tone and works with clients to set clear goals and steps between meetings.
She emphasizes small, manageable changes so progress feels steady instead of overwhelming. People come to her with a wide range of concerns, including parenting stress, relationship strain, addiction issues, bipolar mood matters, ADHD-related challenges, and attachment questions. She also supports those facing infertility-related grief and divorce-related transitions.

How EMDR and practical approaches work online
Christy often uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, which helps people process traumatic memories by guiding focused attention while recalling distressing events. EMDR can be helpful when past events continue to cause anxiety, panic, or intrusive memories.She also uses cognitive-behavioral and person-centered ideas in online work, helping clients identify stressful thought patterns and practice small behavioral changes between sessions. These approaches aim to make daily life more manageable and reduce overwhelming anxiety symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christy will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and comfort level, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging options let people check in between sessions or use shorter, regular touchpoints. These choices add flexibility for busy schedules and different communication preferences, making consistent care easier to fit into life.
