About Christy

Christy Bell, LPC, helps people handle stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. She focuses on real-life problems like coping with big life changes, relationship and intimacy questions, addiction, and parenting concerns. Her style is warm, straightforward, and rooted in practical skills that people can use soon after a session.

Christy uses clear, goal-focused methods alongside a person-centered attitude. She listens first, then works with clients to build strategies for emotion regulation, communication, and problem solving.

Background and approach

Sessions often include short exercises, behavioral experiments, and reflection to help people notice what works in daily life. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also includes dialectical behavior therapy skills for managing intense emotions and improving tolerance.

Client-centered principles keep the focus on each person’s values and choices. Christy brings 12 years of clinical experience as a licensed professional counselor in Georgia. She keeps therapy approachable and sometimes uses creative tools from pop culture and games when they help illustrate ideas or make learning new skills easier.

People who come to her can expect a mix of practical coaching, emotional support, and some challenge when growth calls for it. Sessions aim to leave clients with concrete next steps and simpler ways to handle stress, tough conversations, or parenting pressures.

Online support

How her approaches guide online sessions

Christy commonly blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s pace to build trust and clarity, which helps when someone wants to sort values, identity, or parenting priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors shape mood and actions and gives concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when intense emotions or impulsive reactions get in the way. DBT adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. Together these approaches offer both understanding and practical tools, and she works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let partners and individuals work through material face to face. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick reflections, skill practice between sessions, or when written processing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and offer flexible ways to learn and practice new skills.
