Christie Phillips

Christie Phillips is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience. She meets people where they are and helps them work through relationship stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and major life shifts. Christie aims to build a strong connection so clients feel understood and ready to make changes.

She has worked in many settings including business, legal, medical, academic, and community environments. That breadth of experience means she has supported people through a wide range of problems, from trauma and extreme emotional reactions to everyday coping and career concerns. Christie has also worked with adoption and foster care situations, autism spectrum behaviors, and issues tied to aging and end-of-life care.

In session she focuses on understanding a person’s needs and choosing tools that fit those goals. She describes her work as practical and collaborative - talking through challenges, practicing new ways of reacting, and building steps toward better daily functioning. Christie values diversity and respects each person’s unique background.

She has provided support across the lifespan, from young children through older adults, and has experience in couples and relationship improvement. While trauma and relationship work are frequent focuses, Christie treats a wide variety of concerns including parenting, ADHD-related struggles, eating and sleeping issues, and addictions.

Christie works with clients in Georgia and accepts international clients. Her approach emphasizes connection, clear goals, and tools people can use between sessions. She encourages anyone considering help to match with a therapist they feel comfortable with and to start where they are.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Christie works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping. One common approach she uses helps people identify patterns in their thoughts and behaviors, then try different responses to reduce distress and improve relationships. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and everyday stress.

She also often addresses trauma-related concerns by helping clients name what happened, recognize how it affects current reactions, and practice skills to manage intense feelings. That work aims to reduce overwhelming reactions and increase coping in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts pacing and tools over time so work feels manageable and relevant.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, fitting sessions into a work or family routine, and shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. Christie’s focus is on helping clients use strategies that fit into their everyday life, whether they need help with anger, relationships, or coping after trauma.
