About Christie
Christie Gait is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 11 years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, and major life changes. Christie also addresses concerns such as attachment and abandonment, communication and control issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Christie works from a belief that each person knows their own story best. She helps clients notice strengths they already have and use those strengths to face difficult emotions and choices. Sessions focus on talking through what matters now and finding practical ways to try different behaviors between meetings.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She encourages small steps that fit into everyday life and checks in about what helps or gets in the way. That can mean practicing new ways to speak about needs, testing boundaries, or trying short coping skills during stressful moments.
Christie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She tailors sessions to the issue at hand, whether that is working through a painful past event, repairing a pattern in close relationships, or rebuilding confidence after a big change.
People who come to Christie for guilt or shame-related concerns often work on understanding where those feelings come from and on concrete ways to respond to them so they interfere less with daily life.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Christie works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical changes. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, then try specific alternatives in day-to-day life to reduce anxiety and improve confidence. This method is useful for stress, self-esteem, and shame-related thoughts.Another useful approach concentrates on understanding relationship and attachment patterns. It looks at how early experiences or current interactions shape expectations and responses, and then practices new ways of communicating and setting boundaries to change recurring cycles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christie collaborates with clients to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and what feels doable. If a technique isn’t helping, she adjusts the plan and tries different options alongside the client.
Session formats were not specified in the original biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions commonly make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to be on camera. Licensed professionals, including counselors like Christie, use these formats to help people practice real-world changes between meetings.
