Christie Phillips

Christie Phillips is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience. She meets people where they are and helps them adjust, cope, and move toward the changes they want in life. Christie is direct and practical, and she aims to build a connection that makes it easier to take the next step.

She has worked in many settings including personal, business, legal, medical, academic, and community environments. That breadth of experience shaped her comfort helping people through trauma, relationship challenges, intense emotional reactions, and behavior differences on the autism spectrum. Christie also supports people facing grief, addiction, parenting strain, career shifts, and questions about identity and intimacy.

Christie listens for each person's priorities and then matches strategies that fit their goals. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical tools rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Sessions focus on clear steps, real-world coping skills, and making steady progress toward what matters most to the client.

She values diversity and has worked with people across the lifespan, from young children through older adults. Christie places importance on building rapport quickly so clients feel understood and can begin working on concrete changes.

If someone wants to address depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship problems, or self-esteem, Christie aims to offer straightforward guidance and support. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider whether her practical, experience-driven style feels like a good fit before starting work together.

Therapeutic approaches for real-life changes

Christie works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses emphasizes skill-building for managing anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and problem-solving steps to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on trauma-informed work that helps people name and make sense of difficult experiences, develop safety and coping strategies, and slowly rebuild trusted routines and relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christie works with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adapts techniques to fit those aims. Clients and the therapist review what helps and adjust methods as needed to make steady progress together.

Specific online session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling more flexible around work or family commitments. Licensed professionals often use these conveniences to help clients maintain consistent momentum toward their goals.
