    About Cristy

    Cristy Hooper is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She uses a straightforward, respectful style and aims to create a calm space for honest conversation. Cristy values sensitivity and compassion in each session.

    With eight years of professional experience, Cristy adapts her approach to fit each person's needs. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's perspective.

    Cristy incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical alternatives. Mindfulness techniques are used for grounding and reducing anxiety in daily life. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear, achievable goals and track small wins.

    In sessions, Cristy will listen first and then work with the client to build a plan that feels realistic. Conversations are tailored to the person rather than following a fixed script. She encourages steady progress through small, doable steps.

    People who come to Cristy often want clearer communication, more self-love, or better ways to handle pressure and anger. She helps them break problems into manageable pieces and practice new skills between sessions. Taking the first step is acknowledged and met with practical guidance.

  2. How therapy approaches translate to online care

    Many of Cristy’s methods adapt well to remote sessions. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change by asking open questions and reflecting what matters to them, which works well in conversation over video or phone. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective, letting the person guide the pace and topics of sessions so conversations stay relevant and personal.

    Cristy also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a practical way, identifying patterns of thought and trying concrete alternative actions between meetings. That makes homework and brief skills practice easy to track during online sessions. Choosing which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process; Cristy will work with the client to match methods to their goals, preferences, and daily schedule.

    Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also support practicing skills in the real environments where challenges happen, so progress can be applied to everyday life.
