About Christy
Christy Potter is a licensed professional clinical counselor in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. She supports individuals coping with trauma and abuse and those facing major life changes. Christy works to build practical skills clients can use between sessions.
She takes a respectful and compassionate approach. Conversations and plans are shaped around each person's needs and goals. Sessions focus on clear steps and real-world strategies rather than abstract ideas.
Background and approach
Christy uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act toward what matters. Mindfulness practices are offered to calm the body and reduce reactivity.
Her client-centered attitude means she listens first and adjusts pace to the person in front of her. She aims to create a space where people can speak openly about shame, guilt, impulsivity, and relationship challenges. Progress tends to come from small, steady changes applied in daily life.
With seven years of experience, Christy combines practical techniques with a warm, steady presence. She encourages gradual steps toward better mood, improved communication, and clearer life purpose. Getting started begins with a short intake and a shared plan tailored to each individual.

How her approaches translate to online work
Christy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. ACT is useful for issues like anxiety, anger, and feeling stuck because it emphasizes doing what matters despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice thinking patterns and try different behaviors. CBT offers simple exercises that translate well to video or phone sessions and can reduce panic, worry, and low mood.
Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. The therapist will check in about what feels helpful and adjust techniques to match the client's goals and preferences. Clients and therapist decide together which methods to try and when to change course.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing prompts and short reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, and busy schedules.
