About Christie
Christie Phillips is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience helping people navigate difficult life moments. She focuses on building a straightforward connection so parents and individuals can talk about what matters to them. Christie uses practical tools and clear conversation to help clients move toward goals they set together.
Her work centers on parenting concerns alongside relationship stress, trauma, depression, anxiety, and issues such as ADHD, addiction, and grief.
Background and approach
Christie also supports people facing career shifts, intimacy questions, sleep or eating problems, and the challenges of blended or adoptive family life. She values diversity and adapts her approach to each person’s situation. Christie draws on long experience in both clinical and professional development settings.
That background includes work in medical, academic, legal, and community environments. Over the years she has helped people across a wide age range and learned practical strategies for coping and change. In sessions she aims to understand clear needs and match methods that fit each client.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process where insight meets real-life steps. Christie emphasizes small, achievable changes and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Christie practices in Georgia and offers services in English.

Evidence-based approaches for online parenting support
Christie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical help families can use. One approach emphasizes structured problem solving where the therapist and client identify a specific issue, break it into manageable steps, and test small changes to see what works. This method can help with parenting challenges, sleep or eating routines, and everyday behavior concerns.Another common approach centers on trauma-informed care. That involves recognizing how past painful events affect current reactions and teaching coping skills to reduce distress. It is useful for people dealing with trauma, anxiety, or strong emotions that interfere with relationships and parenting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christie will talk with clients about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then suggest options and adjust methods as progress is made. Treatment is collaborative so clients can weigh what feels most helpful and practical for their daily lives.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues for relationship or behavioral work. Phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins or when being on camera isn’t needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support short updates, quick coaching, or brief problem-solving between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and varied time zones.
