About Christine
Christine "Christie" Kraft is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and on issues tied to parenting and family strain. Christie aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward for worried parents and caregivers.
She listens first and helps clients name what matters to them. Her work centers on strengths clients already have and on small, practical steps they can try between sessions.
How Christine works
Sessions are warm and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on reachable goals rather than jargon. Christie draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide her work. She uses techniques that help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, build healthier attachment patterns, and clarify personal values that motivate change.
She also brings acceptance-based strategies and skills for handling strong emotions. Over 25 years she has supported people through trauma, abuse, divorce and separation, and complicated grief like abandonment and shame. She helps people address social anxiety, communication problems, and low self-esteem in direct, practical ways.
Women's issues and parenting challenges are also frequent topics in her practice. Clients can expect collaboration on goals and tools to practice between sessions. Christie works in English and accepts international clients.
She holds an Arizona LCSW and brings long experience to each person she meets.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those values. Online sessions can help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and parenting stress.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape trust and closeness. Working together online, the therapist helps people understand those patterns and try new ways of relating, which can ease problems like abandonment worries and communication difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean combining ACT, attachment work, or cognitive-behavioral skills to fit a client's situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and do longer sessions, phone sessions can fit into a work break or be used when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins or logging thoughts between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling family, school, and work commitments.
