More about Christie

- LCSW
Hello! I am a licensed therapist with 3 years of experience in the community mental health setting.
I work with clients to create a safe space where they feel heard and supported. I create a validating and therapeutic environment while clients work toward finding peace amid difficulties.
My hope is to leave clients feeling empowered to create positive change where possible, and help clients examine how certain actions can help them find fulfillment in a life aligned with their values. I have worked with adults with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health diagnoses, children, and families involved in child welfare.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
