About Chrissy
Chrissy Mobley-Gilmore is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 15 years of hands-on experience. She draws on a client-centered style to keep sessions focused on each person’s needs. Conversations are direct and respectful, and she aims to help people make practical changes in daily life.
Chrissy’s background also includes experience as a registered nurse, which informs her attention to physical and emotional wellbeing. She has worked with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addictions, and trauma.
Background and approach
Family and parenting issues are a frequent focus in her work. Her methods blend cognitive-behavioral techniques with dialectical strategies and mindfulness. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new skills, and use grounding or breathing techniques when needed.
Sessions are collaborative and built around attainable goals. Chrissy also addresses relationship challenges, grief, stress, and self-esteem struggles. She has supported people dealing with abuse, domestic violence, chronic illness, and caregiver strain.
Practical problem solving and step-by-step plans are common parts of her approach. Meetings may include straight talk, coaching-style guidance, and motivational interviewing to support change. She emphasizes respect for each person’s experience and works with clients to create a clear plan they can follow between sessions.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Chrissy uses client-centered therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy in ways that fit online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and building trust so clients can speak honestly about parenting, family stress, or personal struggles. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical techniques to change behaviors and cope with anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. She will talk with each client about goals, struggles, and what feels useful. Together the client and therapist decide whether to emphasize skill training, mindfulness practice, or motivated conversation so the plan matches preferences and daily life needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around family responsibilities and busy days. The mix of formats also allows follow-up coaching between longer sessions and helps people practice new skills in real time.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
