About Christie

Christie Davis-Uwah is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on client-centered principles and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people make practical changes in their daily lives.

Background and approach

With 14 years of experience as an LCSW in North Carolina, she focuses on issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, and coping with life transitions, offering a blend of empathy and goal-oriented skill building.

Her work emphasizes culturally responsive care that respects each person's identity and background, with particular attention to women's issues, communication difficulties, and family-related concerns. Clients are supported in developing healthier coping strategies, bolstering self-esteem, and addressing challenges like caregiving stress, divorce, grief, and hospice or end-of-life matters.

Christie uses a collaborative, warm style that pairs evidence-informed methods such as CBT and motivational interviewing with solution-focused planning. She aims to create a practical path forward, helping clients set achievable goals, strengthen resilience, and navigate change with compassion and professional guidance.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Christie integrates cognitive behavioral strategies and client-centered methods to guide online work in ways that focus on present challenges and personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic stance that prioritizes the client's experience and helps build self-esteem and insight.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with each person to clarify goals, explore preferences, and adapt methods so the plan fits the client’s needs and circumstances rather than imposing a single format.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments while allowing therapists to use evidence-informed tools and structured problem-solving during remote appointments.
