About Callie
Callie Gruenwald is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience. She earned a master's degree in Community Counseling from Oklahoma State University and has worked in a range of settings. Callie emphasizes that therapy is guided by the person in front of her and aims to offer practical help that matches each client's needs.
Her background includes work with young adults, adults facing mental health diagnoses, and women handling relationship struggles and addiction. She has provided care in homes, outpatient clinics, and residential treatment settings, which gave her experience with many kinds of life challenges.
In sessions she helps people notice how their thoughts and feelings influence what they do. She looks at the life messages people carry - the parts that help and the parts that no longer serve them. That process helps clients recognize strengths they already have and build on useful coping skills.
Callie uses approaches that focus on values, mindful awareness, and practical skills. She aims to be compassionate, open, and direct. Her style is collaborative: she supports people as they try new strategies and find what works.
She mainly sees clients through video and live chat. Callie asks people to be active in shaping the work so it fits their life and goals. She welcomes conversations about how therapy could help with stress, addiction, relationships, codependency, grief, parenting concerns, and other challenges.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify what matters most to you and encourages small actions that align with those values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily signals so people can respond more calmly rather than react immediately.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Callie collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. She uses feedback from sessions to adjust the plan and tries different tools until clients find what helps.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Callie currently offers work by video and live chat, so ask about available formats when you schedule. If you prefer a different online option, confirm the current session choices before booking so you can pick what fits your routine and comfort level.
