About Christy

Background and approach

She has eight years of clinical experience working with adults in community and outpatient settings. That background gives her a practical sense of common patterns in mood and behavior and what helps people move forward. Her sessions focus on clear goals and small steps.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to find what has worked before and build on those strengths. In meetings she emphasizes active listening, straightforward questions, and building coping skills people can use between sessions.

She helps people set realistic goals and track progress so changes feel manageable. Christy works with adults in Virginia and conducts sessions in English. She aims to create an honest, down-to-earth space where clients can talk through immediate problems and plan for longer term change.

Approaches Christy names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches and online care that focus on goals and skills

Christy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy when working online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns in their thoughts and behaviors and then practice alternative responses to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for strengths and past successes and uses those small wins to build forward momentum and practical solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging formats work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep steady contact between meetings when that helps progress.
