Background and approach
Her work includes attention to mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and ADHD-related challenges. In sessions she listens first and helps clients set small, achievable goals. She blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches.
For relationship concerns she draws on the Gottman Method to improve communication and rebuild trust. Christie aims to make counseling a practical part of life. She helps people develop coping strategies, manage compassion fatigue, and rebuild confidence.
Sessions often include skill practice, clear steps between meetings, and regular check-ins on progress. Christie practices in Texas as an LPC. She offers sessions in English and provides online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.
Approaches and Online Options for Relationship Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and builds a safe space to consider changes and next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and stress management.
The Gottman Method offers specific tools for couples and partners to improve communication and resolve recurring conflicts. It emphasizes concrete exercises for rebuilding trust and handling difficult conversations.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christie will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The emphasis is on practical results and client preference rather than a single fixed method.
Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals in several formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or movement is preferred, live chat for quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing short support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins, and give choices about being on camera or not.
