Background and approach
When past events keep appearing in daily life, she works with clients to find ways to put those memories in perspective. Christie draws on somatic ideas to notice how the body and emotions interact. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered approaches to build trust and connection.
Cognitive-behavioral techniques are used when people want concrete steps to change patterns of thought and behavior. Her background includes leadership of mental health and substance use treatment programs, clinical direction in psychiatric settings, and work developing addiction and chronic pain services. She has taught mental health and addiction courses at several universities for many years.
Clients can expect straightforward, experience-informed guidance. Christie aims to support steady progress through conversation, practical exercises, and attention to how the body and mind respond to stress and recovery.
Practical approaches for online healing and change
Somatic-informed work pays attention to how the body holds stress and emotion. In remote sessions this can mean noticing breathing, posture, tension, and simple grounding practices that help regulate feelings and reduce overwhelm. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current connections and trust. In online conversations this often becomes a focus on patterns in relationships and on building safer ways to relate and communicate. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s goals and pace, offering a listening space where clients set the agenda and the therapist follows their lead.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and comfort with different methods, and will adjust the plan over time. Clients are encouraged to share what feels useful and what does not so the work stays relevant and effective for their situation.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, quicker access from remote locations, and multiple ways to stay connected between sessions. They allow licensed professionals to use conversation, guided exercises, and body-focused practices in ways that match each person’s pace and tech preferences.
