About Chrissy
She has a background as a registered nurse and as a counselor, which shaped her practical, down-to-earth approach. That combination informs how she talks through issues like depression, anxiety, grief, and stress. She also helps people dealing with addictions and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Sessions are interactive conversations that lead to an individualized plan. Techniques come from cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. The goal is to teach tools that reduce difficult emotions and change unhelpful patterns.
Chrissy also supports people working through relationship strain, parenting stress, body image concerns, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar disorder. She can help clients manage anger, low self-esteem, and the strain of caregiving or chronic illness.
Her style is respectful and motivating. She encourages people to see their own strengths and take gradual steps toward change. When someone is ready to begin, she focuses on practical next steps and ongoing support.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach still prioritize open conversation, validation, and building on each person's strengths to address midlife shifts, relationship strain, or grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In virtual sessions this means identifying unhelpful thinking, practicing new skills, and assigning brief exercises to try between meetings to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills translate well to online work through guided practice, short skills coaching, and step-by-step plans to handle intense emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing a single technique. That collaboration helps tailor pace, homework, and what is practiced in sessions.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins or longer skill-building meetings depending on what the client needs.
