About Christie

Christie Phillips is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 13 years of experience. She helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Christie also supports those dealing with parenting challenges, grief, addiction, career shifts, and concerns related to identity and sexuality.

Christie uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage feelings and behavior. She focuses on clear goals and tools people can use between sessions. Meetings are collaborative; she listens for what matters most and then works with clients to try different strategies.

Her background includes work in behavioral and psychological settings as well as business and human development. That mix gives her experience with workplace stress and personal change. She has provided services in medical, legal, academic, and community environments.

Christie has worked with a wide age range, from young children to older adults, and has particular experience with trauma, severe emotional and behavioral concerns, relationship improvement, and autism spectrum behaviors. Those areas became specialties through referrals and sponsored training, though she treats many kinds of problems.

She values diversity and recognizes that people bring different histories and strengths into therapy. Christie aims to connect with each client, understand their goals, and apply tools that help them move toward those goals. Her style is practical and focused on real-life change.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Christie works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common method helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, then practice new responses in real situations. That kind of work can help with anger, anxiety, and low mood by giving concrete steps to try between sessions. Another approach she uses focuses on coping skills for trauma and intense emotions. This involves teaching grounding, breathing, and pacing strategies so strong feelings feel more manageable. These skills are useful for people dealing with past trauma, relationship conflict, or overwhelming stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christie will review a person’s goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. The process is collaborative and practical rather than prescriptive. Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific online options. In general, online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins, and remove travel time so sessions fit into a workday or busy routine. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and video sessions let the therapist and client use visual cues when helpful. Ask about current formats when you schedule to match sessions to your needs.
