More about Christy

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

As a licensed therapist in Georgia, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges with compassion and expertise. My practice focuses on helping clients work through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and self-esteem concerns. I provide a supportive environment for exploring personal growth, communication challenges, and life transitions.

My therapeutic approach is deeply affirming and inclusive, with particular expertise in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, young adults, veterans, and those experiencing workplace stress, relationship difficulties, and personal identity exploration. I'm committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can heal, develop resilience, and rediscover their inner strength.

I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients address a wide range of experiences, including social anxiety, panic disorders, attachment issues, sexual assault recovery, and challenges related to discrimination. My goal is to empower you to develop meaningful coping strategies, enhance self-love, and move toward a more authentic and fulfilling life.

I am a geek and will sometimes bring this into therapy when it will help my clients. Do you need to work on identity development, I have a Star Trek exercise for that. We can use DnD character sheets and RPGs to help you level up skills and tools. Tell me why your favorite book character is so relatable? What class do you usually roll when you play an RPG that can help me understand a bit about your personality.

I will meet you where you are and walk with you towards your goals, I will challenge you, support you, encourage you and hopefully help you grow.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
