About Christie

Christie Davis-Uwah is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 14 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and life changes. She works with people facing addictions, relationship and family tensions, parenting stress, grief, and career or caregiving challenges. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and improve everyday functioning.

Christie uses straightforward, client-centered methods to listen and help people set realistic goals. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to identify unhelpful patterns and encourage small behavior changes. Solution-Focused Therapy also guides short-term goal work when a clear problem and outcome are in view.

Her background includes extensive work with multicultural populations and attention to women’s issues, communication problems, and caregiver stress. Christie helps people build self-esteem and healthier coping strategies after divorce, loss, or transitions related to aging and end-of-life care.

In sessions she translates evidence-based approaches into simple, doable steps. That might mean practicing new ways to respond in tense moments, planning small experiments to shift habits, or learning assertive communication for difficult conversations. The emphasis is on what the person can try between sessions.

Christie also addresses concerns tied to prejudice and discrimination, pregnancy and childbirth stress, and compassion fatigue. Her practice includes support for those dealing with drug and alcohol addiction, ADHD-related struggles, and the practical burdens of caregiving. She invites people to discuss concrete goals and next steps when they reach out.

How sessions work

How Christie’s approaches translate to online sessions

Christie uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s concerns and priorities. That approach means the sessions are driven by what the person wants to change and what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs a listening approach that centers their own goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot and test unhelpful thoughts and habits. It involves setting manageable tasks between sessions, tracking reactions, and practicing new responses. CBT is useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and stress when clear patterns show up in daily life.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support change when ambivalence or low motivation gets in the way. That method helps people clarify reasons for change and build momentum without pressure.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christie will discuss options and help decide which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift as progress is made.

Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not practical. Discuss practical scheduling needs during the matching questionnaire and first session to find the best arrangement.
