About Christie
Christie Cain is a Florida LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Christie also addresses related concerns such as attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness.
Christie uses a person-centered style that prioritizes clear communication and practical planning. Sessions focus on listening closely, naming what feels most urgent, and trying small changes to see what helps. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thinking, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take workable steps toward them.
Attachment-based work informs how she talks about relationships and patterns that repeat across time. Existential ideas help when questions about meaning and purpose come up after big life changes. Christie aims to combine these methods so people can make decisions that fit their daily lives and responsibilities.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Conversations often include practice between sessions and revisiting what did or did not help. Christie keeps learning through trainings and conferences to refine how she supports people facing practical and emotional transitions.
Christie provides services in English and works from Florida. People who want to try a first session begin by completing the site matching steps and scheduling a session to discuss goals and next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, values-guided steps even when difficult feelings are present. ACT is often used for anxiety, stress, and when people are rethinking priorities after life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going, which can help with depression, anxiety, and anger.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and early attachment experiences. That work can help when relationship patterns, abandonment concerns, or communication problems keep recurring.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christie will help clients decide which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts plans if something is not working.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Practical benefits of remote sessions include easier scheduling around work and caregiving, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that reduce travel time. Talk with Christie in your first session about what fits your routine and which approach you want to begin with.
