01About Christy
Christy McWaters is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, and depression. She offers straightforward support for common life struggles and emotional pain. Her approach aims to meet people where they are and build practical steps forward.
Christy draws on a decade of professional experience in counseling. She listens first to understand each person's situation and priorities. From there she shapes conversations and a plan that fit a person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all script.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable changes. Christy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems like substance misuse, trauma reactions, grief, difficulty with relationships, and coping with big life changes. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, and parenting stress.
Her style is respectful and sensitive. She emphasizes collaboration and practical tools that people can try between sessions. People can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through what’s most pressing and to practice new ways of handling it.
Christy is licensed in Georgia as an LPC. She offers help by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. To begin, a short matching questionnaire leads to scheduling that aligns with therapist availability.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Christy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common concerns. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and replacing them with more realistic alternatives to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps people gain better control over day-to-day reactions. Another commonly used technique involves coping skills and relapse prevention for people managing substance use, teaching practical steps to handle cravings and high-risk situations.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review problems, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods over time. Christy will help try different strategies and pick what fits a person's life and comfort level.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter check-ins and ongoing support possible between sessions, helping work through urgent thoughts or practice new skills.
