About Christy

Christy Paul is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 16 years of professional experience. She holds a master’s degree from the University of North Florida. Christy focuses on practical skills that help people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and life transitions.

She uses approaches meant to build coping tools and increase everyday functioning. Christy favors methods that help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also values a person-centered way of working that emphasizes respect and collaboration.

Background and approach

Together with clients she identifies clear goals and small steps that feel doable. Sessions typically involve learning specific skills, trying them between meetings, and checking what works. Common concerns she addresses include parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship stress, and workplace pressure.

She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Christy aims for straightforward, practical sessions rather than long theory talks. She explains techniques in plain language and helps clients practice them.

Clients leave with tools they can use in daily life. Her practice includes online options and flexible formats to fit different schedules. Prospective clients in Florida can start by completing a brief questionnaire to match and schedule sessions.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Christy uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going. That approach teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and stress. She also uses person-centered techniques that emphasize listening, respect, and the client’s own goals. This helps people feel heard and shape therapy around what matters most to them.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Christy collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. She adjusts the approach as progress is made and as life changes occur so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Christy is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care when travel or other demands come up. The variety of formats lets people pick how they communicate when practicing new skills and checking progress.
