About Christie
Christie uses a warm, collaborative style in sessions. She listens first, then helps shape goals that matter to each person. Sessions often center on building self-esteem, practical coping skills, and clearer communication with others.
With 14 years of experience in North Carolina, Christie has supported people dealing with divorce, parenting strain, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and substance use issues. She pays attention to multicultural issues, prejudice and discrimination, and women’s concerns as they affect daily life.
Her methods draw on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In practice this means exploring what matters to a person, identifying patterns that cause distress, and trying short-term strategies that can make life more manageable.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical tools, and tailored coaching around career or caregiving stress when needed. Christie supports people working toward clearer boundaries, healthier habits, and renewed confidence.

How Christie Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s perspective and priorities, with the therapist following the client’s lead to explore what matters most and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and teaches concrete strategies to change them, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Choosing treatment is a team effort. Christie will work with each person to identify goals and try approaches that fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on what is working and what a person wants to focus on, so the plan evolves with the client.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them apply new skills directly to daily life, such as practicing communication or coping techniques between meetings.
