About Christa
Christa Haney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in West Virginia. She offers a warm, down-to-earth style and focuses on building a genuine connection with each person. Christa aims to create a space where people feel heard and can begin to make small, practical changes.
Christa helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and struggles around self-esteem. She also supports those facing loneliness, guilt and shame, questions about life purpose, or challenges related to LGBT identity.
How Christa works
Conversations center on what matters most to the individual rather than labels. Her work uses proven, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to look at thoughts, emotions, and daily behaviors. Sessions involve talking through patterns, practicing new skills, and trying concrete tools that fit into everyday life.
The focus is on reducing shame, strengthening self-love, and helping people move toward goals that feel meaningful. Christa approaches therapy as a collaborative effort. She listens first, then offers practical strategies and gentle challenges to promote change.
Progress is measured in small, usable steps rather than abstract concepts. With five years of clinical experience, Christa combines structured methods with honest conversation. She aims to meet each person where they are and support them in building a more balanced, authentic life.

Evidence-based approaches and online access
Christa uses several evidence-based approaches that focus on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches skills for accepting difficult emotions while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical tools for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building better emotion regulation skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christa collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time so methods stay relevant and useful for the individual.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let therapy feel more like an in-person conversation, while phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats offer flexibility to fit sessions into work, family life, or other routines.
