Christie Phillips, LPC

Christie Phillips is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience helping people through big life shifts. She works with adults across many concerns, including relationships, anxiety, depression, grief, and midlife questions. Christie aims to build a practical connection so people can move toward clearer decisions and better daily functioning.

Christie uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques and tailors tools to each person’s needs. She draws on a mix of behavioral and human-development experience from clinical and business settings. This helps when addressing trauma, extreme emotional reactions, relationship patterns, or autism spectrum behaviors.

She has worked with people of many ages and backgrounds and values diversity in perspective. Her approach focuses on understanding what the client wants to change and picking methods that fit that goal. Sessions often include direct problem-solving, skills practice, and exploring personal patterns that get in the way.

Christie also supports people coping with career shifts, parenting stress, addiction struggles, and identity concerns including LGBT and gender dysphoria topics. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and aims to create a comfortable space for that work.

Her background includes work in clinical, legal, medical, academic, and community settings. That variety informs how she adapts interventions to real-life demands. If someone is wrestling with life purpose, relationship strain, or emotional regulation, Christie focuses on practical steps and clear goals.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Christie uses practical, evidence-based techniques focused on clear skills and behavior change. One common approach emphasizes breaking problems into small steps and practicing new behaviors between sessions, which helps with anxiety, mood, and coping during life transitions. Another approach focuses on understanding how past trauma or relationship patterns affect present reactions, and then building strategies to respond differently in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, current challenges, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they test methods and adjust the plan so it fits the client’s needs and preferences rather than relying on a single method from the start.

Online therapy can make it easier to include counseling in a busy life. It can reduce travel time, let someone schedule sessions around work or caregiving, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how sessions are held and can pick what best fits your routine and comfort.
