Christie Phillips , LPC

Christie Phillips is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience in therapeutic and behavioral settings and 13 years working in professional and human-development environments. She brings that combined background to help individuals, couples, and families navigate challenges, adjust to life transitions, and build healthier patterns. Christie has worked with clients ranging from age 3 to those in their 90s and values the uniqueness of every person she meets.

Her practice has spanned personal, business, legal, medical, academic, and community contexts, giving her experience across many situations. She has developed special expertise in trauma, extreme behavior and emotional issues, couples and relationship improvement, and autism spectrum behaviors, while also addressing a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, addiction, and family and parenting matters. These specialties arose from referrals and sponsored training and are not limits on the populations she serves.

Christie aims to connect with clients, understand their needs, and apply evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical tools to help them move toward their goals. She emphasizes a respectful appreciation for diversity and strives to create a therapeutic connection that supports meaningful progress. She wishes those seeking help well and is glad they are here.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Christie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the needs presented by each client. One area of focus is trauma-informed care, which emphasizes safety, stabilization, and gradual processing to help people recover from past harm and reduce the ways trauma affects daily life. Another emphasis is relationship and couples work, which helps partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and address intimacy-related difficulties through structured, practical interventions. She also offers skills-based coping strategies that teach concrete tools for managing anxiety, stress, mood shifts, and behavioral challenges to support day-to-day functioning and long-term resilience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Christie takes a collaborative stance. She and the client will explore goals, preferences, and life circumstances together to determine which evidence-based techniques fit best and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Christie is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling, accessibility across locations, and multiple ways to communicate based on client comfort and needs. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver effective care that fits into clients' lives.
