Approaches that guide online work
Christy uses practical, evidence-based approaches that focus on clear goals and small changes. One approach emphasizes problem-solving and skill building to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and work stress; it involves identifying patterns that cause difficulty and trying new behaviors to test what helps. Another strand focuses on grief and end-of-life concerns by helping people name emotions, organize decisions, and find ways to cope with loss and transition.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to understand their goals, daily routines, and what feels doable, then tailors methods to match those needs. Clients and therapist check in regularly and adjust strategies when needed so the work stays useful.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats Christy currently offers before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow a quieter, focused check-in on workdays. It can also make it simpler to attend regular appointments while managing caregiving, shifts at work, or medical appointments.
