Christie Phillips, LPC

Christie Phillips is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience helping people through life changes and difficult moments. She works with adults across many concerns, including relationship issues, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and aging and geriatric issues. Christie aims to build trust quickly so people feel comfortable talking about what matters most to them.

Christie uses practical tools to help clients make changes that fit their daily lives. She listens for each person's goals and adapts techniques to match their situation. Sessions focus on clear steps, coping skills, and improving communication where appropriate.

Her background spans clinical, business, legal, medical, academic, and community settings. That variety shaped her ability to talk with different people and handle complex situations. Over the years she has developed particular experience with trauma, intense emotional or behavioral problems, relationship concerns, and behaviors on the autism spectrum.

Christie has worked with people from early childhood into their nineties, so she is familiar with issues that arise across life stages. She values diversity and respects each person's unique story. The goal is to help clients adjust, cope, and move toward the life they want.

To begin, Christie focuses on building a connection and clarifying what a client hopes to change. From there she and the client choose practical tools and steps to reach those goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Christie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping. One common approach she uses emphasizes teaching concrete coping skills and problem-solving steps to manage anxiety, stress, and everyday setbacks. These tools help people break big problems into manageable tasks and try new behaviors between sessions.

Another approach centers on improving relationships and communication. This involves practicing clear communication, identifying patterns that create conflict, and trying different ways of speaking and listening that reduce misunderstandings and build connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christie collaborates with each client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She reviews what is working and adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many clients find that working with a licensed professional by remote appointment helps them maintain progress while balancing daily responsibilities.
