How Christie works
From there she and the client build a plan that fits daily life and personal values. Sessions are practical and focused on skills people can try between meetings. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice difficult feelings without being ruled by them. Attachment-based ideas inform how she thinks about relationship pain and patterns. Christie often helps people coping with caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, cancer-related concerns, and the emotional work around aging and loss.
She addresses issues such as codependency, communication problems, commitment and control struggles, and the fallout from separation or blended family stress. Her style is calm and direct. She focuses on clear goals, practical steps, and steady support.
Sessions aim to reduce immediate distress and build skills for long-term coping.

How Christie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them even when feelings are uncomfortable. It is useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and shifting behaviors through concrete exercises and practice between sessions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, helping people change repeating patterns that cause pain.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christie will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust the methods based on what is working and what is not, so therapy remains practical and goal-focused.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text and chat provide flexibility for brief updates or ongoing support between longer sessions.
