Approaches that help online and in life

Christie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in straightforward ways. She often focuses on behavioral strategies that change daily routines and reduce stress, helping with sleep, attention, and emotional regulation. She also uses trauma-informed methods to help people process difficult events and reduce their impact on current life. These approaches are practical and aimed at improving day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Christie treats the first few sessions as a chance to learn about goals, habits, and challenges. She then works collaboratively to choose methods and exercises that fit the client's needs and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible options to fit busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers written communication. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities while keeping focus on practical steps and real progress.
