Christy Paul, LMHC

Christy Paul is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 16 years of experience. She earned a master’s degree from the University of North Florida and brings a calm, practical approach to therapy. Christy focuses on building skills people can use every day to manage stress and life’s hard moments.

Christy favors techniques that help people notice thoughts and try new behaviors. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions - with a person-centered approach that emphasizes listening and collaborating with each person. Sessions emphasize straightforward tools and short-term strategies when useful.

People who reach out often are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship or parenting concerns, and work or career stress. She also addresses issues like ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, anger, self-esteem, and major life changes. The focus is on practical steps that fit into daily routines.

Christy aims to guide each person toward clearer choices and stronger coping skills. She works at a steady pace and adapts conversations to the needs and goals of the person in front of her. Progress is measured in small changes that add up.

If someone wants to begin, Christy asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. The work in therapy centers on skill building, real-life problem solving, and steady support through transitions.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Christy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into clear parts so someone can practice small changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. She also uses a person-centered approach that focuses on listening and building a trusting, respectful relationship. That style helps people feel heard while they figure out what goals matter most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christy collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs and goals. She adjusts what she does over time based on what helps and what feels manageable for the person in sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and check in from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or let someone join without being on camera if they prefer. Many people find that regular, predictable online sessions help maintain progress during life transitions.
