About Christie
Christie Gait is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Christie emphasizes practical steps and steady support for people facing difficult life changes.
She invites clients to view themselves as the expert on their own story. Christie looks for strengths and small wins to build momentum. Sessions are geared toward clear goals and everyday tools that can be used between meetings.
How Christie works
Christie often helps people who feel stuck by addressing patterns tied to attachment, abandonment, or control. She also supports those dealing with blended family concerns, separation or divorce, and problems with commitment or communication. Conversations can include ways to manage shame, guilt, isolation, jealousy, and questions about life purpose.
Her approach is down-to-earth and collaborative. She works with each person to set realistic steps and to practice new responses to old problems. The focus is on improving daily life rather than on technical labels.
Christie offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make contact easier. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled based on availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Christie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional processing. One approach emphasizes identifying and shifting patterns tied to attachment and abandonment - this helps people understand recurring reactions in relationships and practice new responses. Another approach centers on managing anxiety and stress through skills like grounding, breathing, and small behavioral changes that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christie collaborates with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about how methods are working and adjusts plans so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text can provide brief check-ins or support between meetings. These options make it easier to get consistent support while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
