About Christie

Christie Phillips is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 13 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship struggles, anger, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Christie draws on experience from clinical, business, medical, legal, and community settings to help people navigate practical problems.

She explains things plainly and focuses on what a person wants to change. Conversations typically identify patterns that cause stress or conflict, and then explore doable steps to reduce tension and improve day-to-day interactions. Christie has a history of supporting people through trauma and intense emotional reactions, and she also helps with parenting challenges, sleep and eating concerns, and work-related stress.

Her background includes work with a wide age range and varied settings. That experience informs how she helps people facing major life changes, grief, or relationship strain. She has also worked with individuals referred for autism-related behaviors and couples seeking relationship improvement, while noting those areas grew from referrals and sponsored trainings.

Christie values direct connection and practical tools. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors conversations to match each person's goals. The emphasis is on noticing patterns, practicing different responses, and testing what works in daily life.

If someone is looking for straightforward help with anger, stress, or relationship problems, Christie offers an approach that blends clinical experience with real-world problem solving. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider whether her style feels like a good fit before booking a session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Christie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions toward clear, achievable changes. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful behavior and thought patterns, then practicing alternative reactions that reduce anger and conflict. This method helps with work stress, relationship arguments, and impulsive responses.

Another approach she uses addresses trauma-related responses by teaching grounding and emotional regulation skills. These skills help reduce intense reactions and support safer engagement in everyday interactions. Both approaches prioritize small steps a person can try between sessions to see what helps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christie works with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She adjusts the plan as people try strategies and report what works or doesn’t, so sessions stay focused on practical progress.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, or let someone take sessions from a place with fewer interruptions. Licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises and homework to be useful between meetings, helping people test new ways of responding in real life.
