About Cristy

Cristy Hooper is a licensed LCMHC based in North Carolina who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life adjustments. She brings eight years of clinical experience to work that emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while addressing communication struggles and building self-love.

Background and approach

Cristy frames therapy as a collaborative process and adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation. Her approach blends practical strategies with empathic listening so clients can develop clearer thinking patterns, stronger coping skills, and improved confidence.

She encourages small, achievable steps toward change and acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage. Cristy aims to support clients as they explore motivation, manage difficult emotions, and find healthier ways to relate to themselves and others.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills that can be applied between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens carefully and helps clients explore their feelings and goals at their own pace. Mindfulness Therapy helps people develop present-moment awareness and calm, which can reduce reactivity to stress and support emotional regulation.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work together rather than a one-size-fits-all decision. Cristy collaborates with each person to determine which methods and exercises align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These remote formats can make it easier to access regular support, practice skills between conversations, and maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
