Approaches that guide online support

Christie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses emphasizes skill-building to manage anxiety and panic - this involves learning specific breathing and grounding methods, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms. It helps people regain calm and handle stressful moments more easily.

Another approach centers on improving self-esteem and social confidence by working on communication skills and self-compassion. Sessions include practiced ways to speak up, set boundaries, and challenge harsh self-judgments so social situations feel more manageable.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Christie starts by listening to what matters most, then tries methods that fit the person’s goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so techniques are useful and realistic for daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow longer, face-to-face conversations while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the go. Live chat and text messaging are good for brief check-ins, quick coping suggestions, or ongoing support between appointments. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people continue work on their goals from wherever they are.
