How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making sessions reflect the person’s needs. In practice this means conversations that follow the client’s concerns and pace, helping people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new actions; it’s often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable tasks.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and situation. That conversation can include mixing approaches or emphasizing skill practice, depending on what the person needs.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities. Licensed professionals often use these advantages to focus on practical tools and consistent progress, helping clients apply what they practice in everyday life.
