Callie Gruenwald, LPC

Callie Gruenwald is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience. She earned a master’s degree in Community Counseling from Oklahoma State University and has worked in a range of settings. Callie has supported people through addiction and relationship concerns and with a variety of mental health and life struggles.

She approaches therapy as a collaborative process led by the client. Callie listens for what is working in a person’s life and what is holding them back. She helps people notice patterns, name their strengths, and use both known and new coping skills to manage stressors.

Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered approaches. Those methods are used to address anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, intimacy issues, parenting strains, and changes in life circumstances.

Callie has experience supporting young adults, children, adults with mental health diagnoses, and people in residential and outpatient settings. She also has worked with women-specific issues and with families in homes. This background informs a practical, straightforward style in sessions.

Sessions emphasize compassion paired with direct feedback. Callie uses video and live chat for most sessions and encourages clients to shape the pace and focus. She asks questions, offers tools to try between visits, and checks in on what helps most.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns, often used for anxiety and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which supports stress, cravings, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best for the person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different tools and checking what feels most helpful over time.

Callie conducts most sessions via video and live chat as noted in her background. If you want to know the exact session options and how they fit your routine, confirm the current formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time, while still focusing on skill practice and progress between meetings.
