01 · Who Christie works with

Christie works with stress, Anxiety, addictions and self esteem

02 · In Christie's own words

What Christie says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

As a licensed therapist in North Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on empowering clients to navigate depression, anxiety, stress, and significant life transitions with compassion and understanding.

With extensive experience working with diverse populations, I offer culturally responsive care that honors each person's unique identity and lived experience. My approach is particularly attuned to women's issues, family dynamics, communication challenges, and multicultural concerns.

I bring deep expertise in helping clients build self-esteem, develop healthy coping strategies, and work through difficult experiences such as divorce, caregiving stress, and personal transformations. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and focused on supporting your individual journey toward healing and personal growth.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where you can explore your challenges, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful change. Whether you're struggling with addiction, relationship issues, or navigating significant life transitions, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

03 · How Christie works

The 4 approaches Christie lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Christie lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Christie's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Christie runs a session.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Motivational InterviewingMI

A way of talking about change with somebody who is genuinely in two minds about it. The therapist does not argue for the change; they help you say your own reasons out loud, which is the part that predicts whether it happens. Common around substance use and health behaviour.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Christie practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Christie's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Christie at this point.

2. Naming Christie specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Christie is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Christie.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Christie

Built from what Christie actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Christie's - Christie has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

Where every line on this page came from

Christie's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Christie. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
