About Christie
Christie Gait is an LCMHC - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina with 11 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Christie names life purpose as one area she focuses on and helps people who feel directionless after change.
Her approach centers on treating the client as the expert of their own story. She listens for strengths and patterns that can be used to move forward. Sessions often look at what keeps a person stuck and practical steps to try between meetings.
Christie also pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, along with difficulties like communication problems, control struggles, and commitment worries. She can help people navigate separation, blended family strain, and family of origin concerns while addressing feelings of emptiness, guilt, or shame.
When trauma or abuse are part of the picture, she works with the client to address the impact of those experiences and to build coping skills. Christie also supports people facing isolation, jealousy, or relational strain tied to narcissistic behavior in others.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Clients can expect a focus on clear, manageable steps and on strengthening the skills they already have. To begin, users follow the site's matching steps and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Christie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One commonly used approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes in daily life. This method helps with anxiety, low mood, and motivation by turning ideas into short experiments to try between sessions.Another frequently helpful approach looks at relationship and attachment patterns. It helps people see how past experiences shape current reactions and then practice different ways of relating. This is useful for communication problems, abandonment worries, and issues around commitment or trust.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christie will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted as sessions progress so the plan stays practical and relevant.
