Background and approach
Sessions often focus on concrete skills like communication, self-care, and ways to manage overwhelming thoughts. She pays attention to how everyday habits and relationships affect mood. Christie helps clients untangle difficult family dynamics and improve communication.
She also supports people who are searching for life purpose, struggling with forgiveness, or feeling isolated. In therapy she uses approaches grounded in evidence, explained in simple terms. Meetings include practical tools, short-term strategies, and space to process emotions.

People choose the goals, and she helps plan steps to reach them.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Christie draws on practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and coping strategies. One common approach teaches ways to challenge and reframe unhelpful thoughts so anxiety and low mood become easier to manage; it helps with panic attacks and social anxiety by changing how moments of fear are handled. Another approach emphasizes behavioral changes and activity planning to lift mood and increase motivation; this is useful for depression, isolation, and finding direction in life.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Christie works together with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The process mixes short-term tools and longer-term skills so it fits individual needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel closer to in-person meetings, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging is useful for ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options help clients fit therapy into work, family, or school schedules while maintaining consistent progress.
