About Christie

How Christie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This approach can be useful for anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and problems that show up in day-to-day life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person sets the pace and goals of therapy; this can help people feel heard and understood before trying new strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christie will collaborate with the person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She often blends ideas from different approaches so sessions match what matters most to the client.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during work breaks or quieter parts of the day. Some formats can be better when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed; ask about available options when scheduling so sessions can match everyday life.
