Christie Gait

Christie Gait is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Christie emphasizes that each person knows their story best and brings strengths into the work.

Christie listens carefully and helps clients name what feels most urgent. She offers a steady presence while people sort through painful memories or difficult choices. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems repeating.

She often works with issues tied to attachment and abandonment, including feeling empty, isolated, or overwhelmed by jealousy and control concerns. Christie also supports people dealing with family of origin wounds, divorce or separation, blended family stress, and struggles around commitment.

Conversations include learning new ways to communicate, coping skills for anxiety and stress, and strategies to rebuild confidence. Christie aims to balance gentle support with clear, achievable goals so progress feels real and manageable.

Taking a first step can feel risky, and Christie offers guidance while clients decide what change should look like. She helps people discover practical options that fit their life and values.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy

Christie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and build alternative ways of thinking and coping; this is useful for anxiety and low self-esteem. Another approach concentrates on patterns in relationships and attachment, helping people see recurring dynamics and try new ways of relating when feeling stuck.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christie collaborates with each person to figure out what methods match their goals and preferences. She starts by listening to what matters most, then adapts techniques so they fit the client's pace and needs.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make appointments easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find virtual sessions help maintain continuity during life changes while still focusing on practical skills and relationship patterns.
