Christie holds a Master s-level clinical license as an LMHC in Florida and brings eight years of experience to her practice. She keeps current by attending trainings and conferences. Her background emphasizes steady, practical care rather than quick fixes.

People who choose Christie can expect a collaborative process. She works with each person to set realistic goals and track progress. If someone wants to explore whether her style fits their needs, they can begin the matching process and schedule a session.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps that fit those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That may mean using several approaches together so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and let someone join from a quieter place without needing to rearrange a full day. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or sessions that focus on skill practice between in-person visits. Confirm which formats are available for this therapist when you schedule so you know what to expect.
