About Christie
She centers work on each person's needs and identity. Sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps people build self-esteem, find coping strategies, and make clear plans for change.
Christie pays attention to family dynamics, communication problems, and the particular pressures that affect women. She also supports people facing caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, and end-of-life concerns. Trauma and abuse are among the areas she addresses with sensitivity and care.
Her toolbox includes client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral methods, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Christie uses these approaches to help people set goals, try new behaviors, and measure small wins over time.
Sessions are practical and action-oriented while staying responsive to cultural background and life context. She helps clients navigate divorce and separation, substance concerns, grief, parenting strains, and career transitions. The aim is clearer choices and stronger coping in everyday life.
How Christie’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting your priorities. The therapist follows your lead, helps you name goals, and offers feedback that fits your situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses small practical steps to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs and circumstances evolve.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut down on travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it simpler to continue care during life changes so progress can stay consistent. Licensed professionals help tailor session length and focus to what will be most useful for daily life.
