About Christy

Christy Crane is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Missouri who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, mood concerns, and ADHD among other challenges.

Background and approach

With 12 years of experience across outpatient community settings, personal counseling, and inpatient psychiatric work, she draws on a broad clinical background to support clients facing life transitions, grief, trauma, parenting difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Her style is warm, respectful, and collaborative; she emphasizes client agency and tailors treatment plans to each person’s needs.

Christy blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with narrative work, EMDR, and DBT skills to address symptoms and the stories that shape them. Motivational interviewing is also part of her toolbox to help people find and sustain meaningful change.

Clients can expect a therapist who values sensitivity and practical problem solving while avoiding coercion. She prioritizes clear, individualized goals and partners with clients as they take steps toward improved coping, self-esteem, and healthier relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Christy frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to address symptoms and underlying patterns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood-related symptoms. EMDR offers a structured method for processing traumatic memories and distressing experiences to lessen their emotional impact.

She also integrates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when clients need practical skills for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Together, these approaches provide a mix of symptom-focused techniques and deeper processing strategies that can be tailored to each person's goals and preferences. Finding the right combination is a collaborative process, and the therapist works with clients to determine which methods fit best for their needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, handle small crises between sessions, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for therapy work.
