About Christie

Her practice incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Existential approaches, and client-centered techniques to help clients explore thoughts, emotions, and relational patterns. With eight years of clinical experience, she brings consistent professional curiosity and ongoing training to her work.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Christie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and anger management. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to explore values-based goals and to build psychological flexibility, supporting people facing grief, chronic illness, or major life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns and emotional bonds, helping clients understand how early and current relationships shape coping and connection.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; Christie works with clients to weigh their needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts techniques from CBT, ACT, or attachment-based work as appropriate. This collaboration helps tailor strategies that feel practical and personally meaningful rather than applying a single method rigidly.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility or caregiving constraints. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care and to practice therapeutic skills in day-to-day contexts, while scheduling can be adjusted to match availability and life demands.
