About Cristy
Cristy Hooper is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with eight years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and the strain of life changes. Cristy also supports work on communication problems and building self-love.
Her approach focuses on practical conversation and clear steps. She uses techniques from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Mindfulness tools are introduced to reduce reactivity and bring attention to the present moment.
Sessions are collaborative and action-oriented. Cristy draws on Motivational Interviewing to explore what matters most to each person and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals. That combination is meant to help someone reduce outbursts, manage workplace frustration, or rebuild confidence after setbacks.
She aims to keep conversations direct and readable. Expect simple language, concrete strategies, and check-ins on how new skills are working in daily life. Homework or short exercises may be suggested between meetings to practice new habits.
Cristy recognizes that starting therapy is a big step. She asks questions about priorities and then helps set a plan that fits the person’s routine. The emphasis is on steady progress and workable changes rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
She commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in session. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on clear, respectful conversation where the therapist listens and reflects so the person can make their own decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to try new responses to stress and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cristy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it helpful to practice skills in the context of their everyday environment while still talking things through with a licensed professional.
