Christy Stinton is a licensed counselor with 14 years of experience who helps people work on stress, anxiety, self esteem, depression, and major life changes. She offers a warm, interactive style and focuses on practical steps a person can use right away. She aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace and goals.
Christy draws from several approaches to shape conversations and plans that fit each person. She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) alongside cognitive and person-centered ideas to address trauma, painful memories, and ongoing patterns that cause distress. Sessions usually include talk, skill practice, and collaborative planning so progress is clear and usable between meetings.
Clients often bring concerns like grief, parenting strain, relationship stress, addiction, career problems, bipolar mood disruptions, or ADHD-related challenges. Christy works with these topics by breaking them into concrete steps and teaching coping strategies that can be practiced day to day.
Her counseling style emphasizes listening, steady feedback, and flexibility. She adapts the pace and focus to individual needs and helps people set realistic short-term goals alongside longer-term hopes. The goal is to build stronger self esteem and better tools for handling life’s ups and downs.

How EMDR and collaborative approaches translate to online work
EMDR is a therapy method that helps people process distressing memories by combining focused memory work with guided bilateral stimulation. It is commonly used for trauma, intense memories, and the strong emotions tied to them. When used thoughtfully, it aims to reduce the hold a memory has on daily life.
Christy also pulls from cognitive ideas and person-centered conversation. Cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical ways to test and shift those thoughts. Person-centered elements mean sessions are guided by the client’s priorities, with the therapist offering steady listening and acceptance.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Christy will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and together choose techniques that fit. She adapts plans over time when something isn’t helping or when priorities change.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins between appointments when needed. It can also let people select a therapist who offers the approaches they want, even if that person is not nearby geographically.
