About Christy
Christy Paul is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Florida with more than 16 years of experience. She earned her master’s degree from the University of North Florida. Christy focuses on giving people practical coping tools they can use right away.
She believes therapy is a place to build skills. In sessions she emphasizes straightforward techniques that help reduce anxiety and manage stress. She also helps people work through relationship concerns, grief, trauma and mood changes using clear, goal-oriented steps.
Background and approach
Christy blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a Person-Centered approach. That means she helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and also centers sessions on each person’s own goals and values. The balance aims to be both active and respectful of the client’s pace.
Her work includes support around parenting challenges, career transitions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, anger, self-esteem, and bipolar-related concerns. She frames progress as small, steady changes rather than instant fixes. Sessions are meant to teach skills that people can use between meetings.
Christy offers short-term and longer-term work depending on a person’s needs. She invites people to begin with a clear plan and frequent check-ins to track progress. Her style is practical, warm, and focused on helping people feel more capable in daily life.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Christy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in brief, practical ways that work well online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping skills. Person-Centered work puts the client's goals and values at the center and supports growth through empathetic listening and collaboration; it helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort feelings and decide next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christy will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit best for their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time and she checks in regularly to shape the plan together.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when schedules change.
