Christie Phillips, LPC

Christie Phillips is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of experience. She focuses on relationship concerns and helps people facing trauma, stress, anxiety, and life changes. Christie talks through goals with each person and works to build a genuine connection early on.

She brings experience from clinical, business, legal, medical, academic, and community settings. That background means she can help people translate therapy into everyday life. Christie uses practical tools chosen to match each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Christie has worked across a wide age range and has particular experience with trauma, intense emotional or behavioral concerns, relationship improvement, and autism spectrum behaviors. Those areas grew out of referral work and sponsored training, but she remains open to other issues people bring.

In sessions she listens, identifies realistic next steps, and introduces skills people can try between meetings. She pays attention to differences in culture and life experience and treats each person as an individual. The aim is steady progress toward clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and healthier connections.

People start by sharing what matters most to them and where they want to get. From there Christie helps pick approaches and tools that fit the person and their situation. She wants clients to feel heard and to leave sessions with practical ideas to use right away.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Christie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people process traumatic memories and learn coping strategies to reduce upsetting reactions; it emphasizes pacing and clear steps for handling triggers. Another approach centers on relationship skills and communication - teaching ways to express needs, manage conflict, and rebuild connection over time.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Christie will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different tools. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan based on what is working and what feels manageable.

If you prefer online options, confirm available formats before booking because the biography does not list session types. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy day. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, reduce travel, and make it simpler to include practical homework between meetings. Licensed professionals adapt materials and exercises so real progress can happen even when sessions are remote.
