Christy is a wonderful therapist who cares about your individual needs and works with you to develop goals for improvement. She is professional and encourages you to make realistic goals for yourself that you can have the confidence to complete. She is also not judgmental or disappointed if you fall short, but instead will focus on the positive side and remind you what you have accomplished and done well. Christy listens to you and does a great job making you feel comfortable and safe to talk. I highly recommend Christy as a therapist, especially if you are nervous about trying therapy for the first time!

More about Christy

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Missouri, and I have studied both family and marriage counseling and the regular professional counseling. I have 8 years of experience working as a counselor in various settings. I have worked with children, adolescents, families, couples, individuals, and groups. I have worked in private counseling and outpatient community mental health settings as a counselor. I have also worked inpatient as a psychiatric technician. I have worked a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting issues, change of life concerns, OCD, ADHD, anger management, grief, and personality disorders.

My counseling style is warm and genuine. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I do not believe in control or coercion. I will voice my belief in what may help you feel better, but you are in the driver's seat. I have long observed that real improvement and changes come when the individual makes decisions and does the work involved. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, narrative, EMDR, DBT, and trauma-informed counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Christy is a fantastic Counselor. She is great at asking questions that are helpful, and then really listening to how you answer. She always gives just the right amount of push back, without ever feeling overbearing or pushy. I have never felt judged during our sessions, even when she had to give me tough feedback. She does her best, and succeeds, at making you feel seen and heard. She is wonderful at helping you see answers you already had, and also finding insight you didn't have before. I would suggest her to anyone looking for compassionate and responsive counselor.
