About Christy
Christy brings 14 years of professional experience to her work. She uses a warm, interactive style and focuses on building a calm, accepting space where people can talk through their concerns. Conversations are shaped to fit each person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.
Her approach blends several methods so people can find what helps them most. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, cognitive-behavioral ideas, developmental perspectives, and person-centered techniques are woven into treatment when appropriate. The result is practical, conversational work that targets current problems and patterns that keep them going.
Sessions typically emphasize clear goals, small-step changes, and skills people can use between meetings. Christy aims to help people manage emotions, improve relationships, and adjust to big life transitions. She also supports clients working through trauma, grief, and parenting-related stresses.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Christy frames the process as collaborative and focuses on helping each person move toward a more manageable, meaningful daily life.
How EMDR and practical approaches work online
EMDR is a therapy that helps people process distressing memories through guided attention and focused conversation. It can be used for trauma, abuse-related reactions, and memories that keep causing strong emotion or avoidance.Person-centered work focuses on listening, understanding, and shaping the conversation around what matters to the client. Cognitive-behavioral ideas look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and then practice small changes to reduce symptoms or improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, history, and goals and will suggest techniques that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the plan stays aligned with the client's priorities.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that can reduce travel time. The biography does not specify which remote formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Licensed professionals can then help choose a format that fits a person's routine and clinical needs.
