About Christie

Christie Phillips is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience. She works with people across the lifespan and welcomes the chance to help families and parents facing stressful changes. Christie aims to build a real connection so parents and other family members feel heard and understood.

She uses practical tools and approaches tailored to each person. Christie has worked with children as young as three and with older adults in their nineties.

Background and approach

That range has given her experience with parenting challenges, relationship struggles, trauma, behavioral issues, and autism spectrum behaviors. Her background includes work in clinical, business, legal, medical, academic, and community settings. That variety informs how she adapts strategies to everyday life.

Christie has also received trainings and referrals that led to more focused work in trauma, extreme emotional or behavioral concerns, and couples and relationship improvement. Christie values diversity and treats each family member as an individual. She listens first, then helps set clear goals and choose tools that match those goals.

Sessions emphasize practical steps parents can try between meetings to improve routines, communication, and coping. Parents who are worried about a child, a partner, or the stress of day-to-day life will find a straightforward, compassionate approach. Christie aims to help families adjust, cope, and move toward the changes they want to see.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit family life

Christie draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on real, practical change. One approach helps people identify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior and replace them with clearer, more useful actions; this can help with anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Another approach focuses on relationships and communication skills to improve how partners and family members connect, which is useful for parenting challenges and intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christie collaborates with each person or family to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She listens, suggests options, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Christie provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so parents can choose what fits their schedule and comfort level. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care while juggling school, work, and appointments.
