Christie Gait

Christie Gait is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 11 years of experience in North Carolina. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or major life shifts. Christie focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more capable.

She works with concerns that include relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and trouble coping with change. Other areas she addresses are attachment and abandonment worries, communication and control struggles, feelings of emptiness, and issues connected to divorce or blended families. Narcissism is listed among the topics she supports people with.

Christie believes the client is the expert in their own life. She looks for strengths clients already have and builds on them. Sessions are aimed at helping people notice patterns, try new ways of relating, and make choices that match their values.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Christie offers steady, practical support through that beginning work. Conversations are direct but warm, focused on what is useful right now. The goal is to leave people with clearer options and small, workable changes that add up over time.

Her practice is based in North Carolina and meetings are conducted in English. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session options offered for timing and format.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Christie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful patterns in relationships and daily life, then test small, manageable changes to shift those patterns. This style is useful for anxiety, communication problems, and attachment concerns. Another approach centers on processing distressing experiences from trauma or abuse by creating a safe plan for gradual exposure and coping skill building. That method aims to reduce overwhelm and increase a person’s ability to manage triggers.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christie works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. She listens to what has or hasn’t helped in the past and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from different locations. It can also make shorter check-ins or daytime scheduling simpler when that helps someone stay consistent with care.
