About Christie
Christie brings 17 years of counseling experience to her work. She uses straightforward, person-focused conversations to help clients name what matters and try practical steps. Sessions are calm and goal-oriented, with room to talk about values, faith, and life priorities when clients want that included.
Her approach centers on listening closely and building on a person’s strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques may be used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy shapes the pace and focus so the client sets the agenda.
Christie also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are a main concern and uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals. Together these methods aim to help people improve communication, manage stress, and find clearer direction during transitions like midlife change or divorce.
People often come to her wanting tools they can use between sessions. She works to create simple, practical plans that fit daily life. To begin, clients follow the site’s Start Therapy flow and choose a time that matches the therapist’s schedule.

Online approaches that meet life transitions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead, giving people space to name values, faith, and goals. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting presence while working through big decisions or identity shifts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and managing stress during life changes.
The therapist aims to collaborate on which approach fits best. Deciding whether to emphasize practical skill-building, relationship work, or deeper exploration happens together. The therapist adjusts methods based on each person’s goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity during work or caregiving demands while still doing focused therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
