Christy Turnquist, LMHC

Christy Turnquist is a licensed mental health counselor with ten years of experience helping adults find steadier ground during hard seasons. She focuses on issues like addiction, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career transitions, LGBTQ+ identity questions, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Christy works with people who want practical steps and steady encouragement as they make changes in daily life.

Christy centers sessions on the person in front of her and on small, realistic shifts that add up. She believes clients bring important knowledge about their lives, and she combines that insight with clear tools and doable goals. Conversations aim to build confidence, boost motivation, and reduce the constant stress that gets in the way of feeling better.

Her practice also pays attention to aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, and concerns linked to serious health events such as cancer. Christy supports people facing separation, questions about family of origin, the stresses of first responder or military-connected lives, and the challenge of redefining purpose after big changes.

Sessions include practical strategies for quitting smoking or vaping and approaches to strengthen self-care and self-love. She helps people sort through forgiveness work and navigate career decisions with an eye toward values and routine. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care

Christy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and steady change. One common approach emphasizes practical problem solving - it breaks down concerns into small steps and builds routines that reduce stress and improve daily functioning. This approach helps with addiction, caregiver stress, and managing life transitions.

Another useful technique centers on building self-worth and motivation through goal setting and supportive feedback. It helps people increase confidence, strengthen boundaries, and take manageable risks toward work or relationship goals. These methods are straightforward and often involve homework between sessions to reinforce progress.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Christy will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they review what’s working and adjust the plan as things change, so therapy fits everyday life.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that better suits a day. Licensed professionals can also tailor session pacing and tools to fit someone balancing caregiving, work, or medical appointments.
