About Christy
Christy Stinton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 14 years of clinical experience based in New Hampshire. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, relationship strain, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and issues related to LGBT identity. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Christy uses practical, talk-based work that focuses on concrete problems at home and in daily life. She blends elements of cognitive approaches with developmental and person-centered ideas to shape sessions. That means conversations tend to look at thoughts and behaviors, life history that matters now, and the client’s own goals.
She also draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, for people carrying memories or reactions from traumatic events. EMDR is used alongside other methods when a client and therapist decide it fits the problem.
Sessions typically examine patterns that keep stress or conflict active, and then test small changes to see what helps. Parents or adults concerned about family relationships will find a focus on practical steps they can try between sessions. The therapist aims to make plans manageable and relevant to day-to-day life.
Christy’s background includes a range of clinical settings over many years. She frames therapy as a straightforward collaboration: identifying what’s most pressing, choosing methods that fit, and checking progress as work continues.
How sessions work
EMDR and practical therapies for use online
EMDR is a structured method that helps people process disturbing memories and reduce the intensity of painful reactions. It uses guided attention and focused recall to rework how memories are stored, and is often chosen when trauma or past events continue to cause strong emotional responses.Cognitive-style work looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It breaks issues into small, testable changes people can try between sessions to see what helps in daily life.
Choosing an approach is a shared decision. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and what feels doable, then recommend methods such as EMDR alongside cognitive strategies when appropriate. Plans are revisited as work progresses so methods can be adjusted to fit the client's needs and preferences.
Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, and let people meet from locations that are convenient that day. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm which options are offered when booking. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to carry out EMDR preparatory work, cognitive-style exercises, and practical planning that help with parenting, relationships, and day-to-day stress.
