About Christie

Christie Davis-Uwah is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She draws on 14 years of experience to offer practical support for common parenting concerns and family-related stresses. Christie practices in North Carolina and works in English.

Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens first and helps clients set clear, realistic goals. Sessions often include straightforward tools for coping, managing emotions, and improving everyday communication.

Background and approach

Christie uses evidence-based methods to guide the work. She blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational strategies to address habits, mood, and motivation. This mix helps people spot unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.

She also focuses on specific challenges like grief, addiction, caregiver stress, and issues tied to pregnancy, childbirth, or aging. Christie pays attention to multicultural concerns and supports women facing life transitions and discrimination-related stress. Practical life needs are part of the conversation.

Christie helps with parenting questions, relationship tensions, and career stress while offering coaching-style support when needed. Her approach emphasizes small, workable steps that fit into daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for families

Christie commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore feelings and priorities. It helps when someone needs understanding and space to decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to manage mood, anxiety, and unhelpful habits.

Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christie works together with each person to find methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She combines strategies when helpful and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to get timely support between in-person visits. They provide flexibility for parents and caregivers who need different session lengths or modes of communication while still working with a licensed professional.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
