About John
John Christie is a licensed professional counselor with 21 years of experience. He helps people who feel stuck by offering steady, practical guidance for stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. He keeps sessions direct and understandable so parents can quickly see whether his style fits their needs.
In sessions he focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building skills for emotional regulation. That means learning concrete tools to manage panic, low mood, or overwhelming stress.
Background and approach
He also helps people cope with major life changes like separation or shifts in parenting roles. Christie brings a faith-informed perspective to his work, and he aims to respect each person's beliefs while staying focused on goals. He emphasizes improving communication, rebuilding self-worth, and finding clearer purpose after setbacks.
Many people come for help with workplace strain, social anxiety, and challenges after traumatic events. Therapy with him is collaborative - he encourages clients to try strategies and give feedback about what helps. Sessions include practical exercises, thought work, and steps to rebuild daily routines.
The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes. He practices in Colorado and offers sessions in English. With two decades in the field, Christie draws on broad clinical experience to tailor interventions to each person's situation.
How evidence-based techniques work online
John uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One approach emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood; sessions include practicing new ways of thinking and testing them in daily life. Another approach centers on building emotional regulation and coping skills for stress and trauma, with step-by-step exercises to lower reactivity and improve sleep and routine.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients collaborate on which techniques fit their values, beliefs, and daily life, so the plan changes as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity between sessions.
