She works together with clients to set clear goals and pick practical steps. Conversations are direct but kind, focusing on what will make daily life more manageable. People can expect a collaborative process where strengths are identified and built on.

She will adapt the plan over time based on progress and changing needs. This can include short-term problem solving or longer work on self-esteem and coping skills. Her North Carolina license is noted as LCSW.

Christi offers sessions in English and uses a flexible approach to scheduling and formats. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage while helping people move forward.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Christi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and healing. One approach emphasizes coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching concrete strategies to reduce overwhelm and handle difficult moments. Another approach concentrates on trauma-informed care, helping people process past hurts, reduce reactivity, and build everyday routines that feel safer and more manageable. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together. Online sessions offer real flexibility. Video calls let face-to-face conversation when that helps the work. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions possible. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
