People come to Chrissie for help with stress, low self-esteem and motivation. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and communication problems. Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focused on what will work for each person.
Her background includes counselling students and adults across a range of common life challenges, and she draws on five years of hands-on experience to tailor each session. Outside work she spends time walking in the forest with her husky and adventuring with her family and two kids.
Chrissie invites people to explore what matters to them and to develop practical ways to cope. If money or financial worries are part of the stress, she can help people talk through the emotional side and find manageable next steps.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Many therapists draw on structured, evidence-based approaches to help people manage symptoms and make changes. One common technique focuses on learning to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns, which can reduce worry and improve mood by teaching practical ways to challenge anxious thoughts. Another useful approach emphasises building emotion-regulation skills and small coping strategies to manage intense feelings and everyday stressors. These approaches suit concerns such as anxiety, grief and stress-related difficulties.Choosing the right approach is usually a collaboration. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and try methods that fit those aims. Over time they adjust what they do so sessions stay useful and relevant to the client's situation.
