About Christy
Christy Stinton is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She uses a calm, interactive style to make conversations feel direct and understandable. People often come to her when everyday pressures, work strain, relationship tension, or grief make daily life harder.
Christy brings 14 years of professional experience and holds LPC, MD, and LCPC credentials. She draws on practical methods to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear steps and tools that can be used between meetings. Her approach mixes cognitive-behavioral ideas with developmental and person-centered perspectives. That means she pays attention to how life history shapes current reactions, and she centers the conversation on each person’s goals.
Therapy plans are adjusted to fit what the client wants to work on and what actually helps. Christy also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, which is a method some people use to process painful memories and reduce their emotional intensity. She integrates that with talk-based techniques when it seems helpful.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Christy aims to teach practical skills for coping, mood regulation, and clearer communication. She encourages small, manageable changes that add up over time.

How EMDR and practical methods work online
Christy uses EMDR as one approach to help people process painful memories and reduce their emotional charge. EMDR involves guided attention and structured steps to address specific memories and the feelings tied to them. It is often used when past events continue to affect current mood and behavior.She also draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas and person-centered conversation. Cognitive-behavioral approaches look at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teach concrete strategies to change them. Person-centered work focuses on listening and shaping the plan around what matters most to the client.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christy will discuss options, try methods that fit your goals, and adjust the plan as you progress. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to use and when to try something different.
Online therapy lets people connect in several ways: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for focused check-ins, and text messaging for short updates or ongoing support. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into work breaks, quieter parts of the day, or busy family schedules while keeping the focus on practical steps and goals.
