How her approaches translate to online therapy
Christy commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday worries because it teaches concrete skills and small experiments to try between sessions.She also uses a person-centered approach that prioritizes the client's goals and pace. That means she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and works to create a plan based on each person's values and needs. This style helps people feel understood while they learn new coping tools.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christy will collaborate with clients to choose techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and life demands. Sessions evolve as needs change, and she checks in regularly to adjust focus and methods.
Online formats are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and teaching exercises. Phone sessions use less data and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging provide quick check-ins and shorter touchpoints between longer sessions. These options help people keep continuity of care while juggling family, work, and other responsibilities.
