Background and approach

Over nine years of practice inform her approach. Christy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques while keeping the work focused on what the client needs in the moment. She frames therapy as a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Clients often explore relationships with family of origin, challenges tied to adoption or foster care, and stress from caregiving or work. She also addresses experiences of trauma, sexual assault, domestic violence, and issues connected to gender and LGBT concerns. Topics like shame, isolation, and searching for life purpose are commonly part of sessions.

Christy holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential. She practices in Texas and conducts therapy in English. Sessions can be scheduled using the site's matching and booking process, and ongoing care is managed through a cancellable subscription model.

Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life

Christy combines humanistic, person-centered work with evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Person-centered therapy centers on listening and responding to what the client says, helping people feel understood and valued while they explore feelings and goals. Evidence-based methods bring specific tools and strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, or trauma responses and to practice new coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christy will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques feel most helpful, adjusting methods as goals change. The work is practical and flexible, aimed at building resilience and reducing everyday obstacles.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and texting suit brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and people who prefer typing over speaking.
