Approaches that guide online sessions

Christy uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage daily struggles. One common approach focuses on identifying specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then testing small changes to see what helps. This method is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues because it breaks larger problems into doable actions.

Another core approach emphasizes building routines and problem-solving steps for life stressors like career change, grief, or workplace strain. Sessions map out clear goals and simple habits to try between meetings, which can make progress feel more manageable and steady.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match needs, goals, and personal preferences. That means adjusting techniques over time and checking in about what feels useful.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is good for deeper conversations and visible cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent across a busy life.
