About Christy

Christy Clavio brings a decade of clinical experience to her practice as an LCSW in North Carolina, blending evidence-based therapies with mind-body techniques. Christy centers her work on helping people increase self-awareness, build self-compassion, and strengthen personal agency during times of change, recovery, or emotional struggle.

Background and approach

She draws from training in cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and expressive modalities to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, mood challenges, grief, and ADHD. Her style emphasizes practical skill-building and creative, strength-based interventions that align thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Clients can expect an approach that values resilience and collaboration, using relaxation practices, somatic methods, and therapeutic arts when helpful. Christy’s background includes work with individuals across age ranges and settings, and she combines clinical training with holistic practices to support improvements in sleep, coping, relationships, and day-to-day functioning.

Evidence-Informed Methods and Online Access

Christy integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, providing structured tools for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, and ADHD-related challenges. She also uses trauma-informed approaches that focus on safety, pacing, and body-centered strategies to support recovery from traumatic stress and related symptoms.

These methods are presented collaboratively; part of therapy is exploring which approaches fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. The therapist works with clients to tailor interventions over time, combining talk-based work with mindfulness, relaxation, or expressive activities when they suit the client’s therapeutic plan.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it easier for people to access consistent care while balancing work, family, or mobility needs. Remote formats can increase scheduling flexibility and allow clients to continue skill practice between sessions, supporting steady progress in coping, self-regulation, and daily functioning.
