About Christie
Christie Maether practices person-centered therapy with a focus on practical strategies. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. Christie works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, depression, and life changes.
Her style is collaborative and grounded in real-life steps rather than long lectures. Christie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor care to each person.
How Christie works
She helps clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and then tries small changes that add up. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, setting boundaries, and managing guilt or shame. Her background includes ten years in community mental health clinics and school settings.
That experience shaped a practical approach to common life stressors and transitions. Christie often supports young adults and women as they sort identity, relationship, and life-direction questions. In sessions she creates space to reflect while also teaching tools to cope day to day.
Work can include short experiments, skill practice, and planning steps to change routines or environments. She pays attention to the whole context of a person’s life rather than treating single symptoms in isolation. Christie knows change takes time and small steps matter.
She aims for therapy that helps people feel more aligned with their values and better able to handle setbacks. The process is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Online support options
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Christie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. ACT helps people clarify their values and take actions that match what matters most, while also learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods to use. That collaborative process means tools are chosen to fit the situation rather than forcing one style on everyone.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support shorter exchanges, skill reminders, and ongoing tracking between sessions. These options help make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy days.
