Christie Phillips

Christie Phillips is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience. She works with people across many stages of life and aims to build a strong connection so clients feel heard and understood. Christie focuses on practical steps that help people adjust, cope, and move toward their goals.

She brings experience from counseling, business, education, medical, legal, and community settings. That background means she has helped people with everyday stress as well as complex situations. Christie has worked with individuals from early childhood into their 90s and values diversity in all forms.

Her practice has included concentrated work with trauma, intense emotional or behavior issues, relationship improvement, and autism spectrum behaviors. Those areas grew from referrals and sponsored training, and she treats them as particular strengths rather than limits on who she helps. Hospice and end-of-life counseling is listed among her areas of focus and is part of the range of concerns she addresses.

In sessions she seeks to understand each person's needs first, then use approaches and tools suited to their goals. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where connection matters. Christie aims to help clients find concrete ways to cope and make changes that fit their lives.

People who choose her can expect a straightforward, respectful style. She draws on years of varied experience to adapt to different situations and preferences. Her intent is to help clients feel supported while working toward clear, reachable outcomes.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care

Christie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issue at hand. For example, trauma-focused approaches aim to help people process distressing memories and reduce their impact on daily life by teaching coping skills and pacing difficult material. Relationship-focused methods help partners and individuals clarify communication patterns and build more constructive ways to connect and repair conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christie will discuss options with each person, consider their goals and preferences, and adapt methods as therapy progresses. The process is collaborative and adjustments are normal as needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats Christie currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, support shorter or more frequent check-ins, and reduce travel time. It can also allow people to connect with a therapist while living in a different state or country when international arrangements are appropriate. These practical benefits often help therapy become a regular part of daily life.
