Christy Damrath

Christy Damrath is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, trauma, and career-related challenges. Christy listens closely and helps clients set clear, achievable goals. She trained at Virginia Commonwealth University where she earned a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work. For eight years she has worked with adults in community and outpatient settings. That experience included supporting people with mood disorders, PTSD, attention challenges, and personality-related struggles. In sessions she builds a genuine rapport from the first visit. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps clients identify which small steps will move them forward. Christy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and solve practical problems. Sessions often include learning simple coping skills and practicing new ways to respond to stress. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people slow down and attend to their thoughts and feelings. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Christy focuses on helping people regain a sense of direction after life changes, navigate relationship and communication problems, and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life. If someone wants to improve mood, manage impulses, or work through grief, she supports them in setting realistic next steps.

How her approaches guide online sessions

Christy often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and short-term goals to move someone toward what they want to change. Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works together with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative decision can change as progress is made or circumstances shift. Please confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to keep regular momentum between appointments while working toward career and life goals.
