About Christie
Christie Phillips is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and related concerns. Christie also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy issues, addiction, attention differences, and life changes.
She describes her work as practical and down-to-earth. Christie listens to what matters most and helps people pick tools that fit their goals. Sessions draw on her long experience in clinical, business, legal, medical, academic, and community settings.
Christie has worked with people across the lifespan and with diverse backgrounds. Her past work included referrals and sponsored training that led to focused work with trauma, intense emotional or behavioral situations, relationship improvement, and autism spectrum behaviors. She frames those areas as experience rather than limits on who she will see.
In a meeting with Christie, the conversation is straightforward. She aims to understand the problem, identify small changes to try, and check progress from week to week. This can include communication practice, coping skills for stress or anxiety, sleep and eating habit adjustments, or addressing parenting demands.
People who choose her often want someone who draws on many years of real-world experience. Christie values diversity and works with clients to set clear goals and practical next steps. She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin.
How sessions work
Therapeutic methods and online sessions
Christie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and behavior change. One common approach she draws on is trauma-informed care, which organizes work around safety, coping strategies, and gradually processing difficult memories or reactions. This approach is often helpful for people recovering from abuse, significant loss, or traumatic events.She also uses practical cognitive-behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try different behaviors. These techniques can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support better sleep and daily routines. For relationship concerns she often works on communication practice and problem-solving steps that can be practiced between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christie will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She and the client decide collaboratively which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow check-ins around work or caregiving, and avoid travel time. Different formats also suit different needs - for example a shorter phone check-in can fit a brief break, while video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits.
