About Christy
Christy Stinton is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, depression, and life changes. She brings 14 years of clinical experience and a straightforward, compassionate approach to sessions. Christy works with individuals coping with trauma, grief, addiction concerns, relationship strain, career shifts, ADHD, and mood challenges such as bipolar disorder.
She accepts clients in New Hampshire and international clients, and conducts sessions in English. Christy favors a warm and interactive style.
Background and approach
She aims to create an accepting space where clients can talk about hard things and try new ways of coping. Her work blends cognitive-behavioral ideas, developmental perspectives, and person-centered listening so conversations match each person’s needs. In sessions she focuses on what matters most to the client.
That might include practical tools for managing anxiety, strategies for improving self-esteem, or step-by-step planning around parenting challenges. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, when addressing traumatic memories. Christy emphasizes collaboration.
She and the client set goals together and adjust the plan as progress is made. Her tone is encouraging and direct, aiming to empower people to make manageable changes. Clients can expect a mix of skill building and emotional processing.
Sessions may include talking, skill rehearsal, and targeted interventions chosen to fit the person’s story and needs. The overall aim is clearer coping, steadier mood, and better day-to-day functioning.

EMDR and practical approaches delivered online
Christy uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, which involves structured processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity. EMDR is often used when trauma or painful life events are getting in the way of daily functioning.She pairs EMDR with cognitive-behavioral ideas and person-centered listening. Cognitive-behavioral methods help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. Person-centered listening gives space to describe what matters and guides treatment choices together.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christy collaborates with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and EMDR-style processing when appropriate. Phone calls can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit during a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, tracking progress, and shorter exchanges between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people maintain continuity of care despite busy lives.
