Approaches and how online therapy helps

Christy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that make problems worse. That approach focuses on practical skills like breaking tasks into steps, shifting unhelpful thinking, and building routines for mood and focus. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management.

She also works from a Person-Centered perspective, which means she prioritizes listening, empathy, and pacing sessions around each person’s needs. This approach supports people who need a calm space to process grief, trauma, relationship strain, or life transitions while choosing the next steps themselves.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Christy will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges to decide which techniques to try first. Clients are encouraged to give feedback and shape the plan so it fits their life and learning style.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a problem. Chat and messaging let people check in between meetings or use shorter, focused exchanges. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
