About Christy

Christy Paul is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with more than 16 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She earned her master's degree from the University of North Florida and draws on long-term practice to help clients develop practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Her approach emphasizes building concrete tools that empower people to cope more effectively with daily challenges.

Christy integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques alongside a Person-Centered perspective, combining structured skill-building with a warm, collaborative therapeutic stance. This blend supports work on issues such as relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem, parenting challenges, anger management, career stress, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles.

She frames therapy as a partnership and aims to guide clients toward greater resilience and a more fulfilled life. Sessions focus on identifying practical strategies, exploring personal goals, and tailoring interventions to each person's needs and pace.

Christy offers care in English and conducts sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different preferences and schedules.

Evidence-informed approaches and online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It uses practical exercises and skill-building to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, helping clients develop tools for managing daily challenges. Person-Centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship where the therapist supports the client's own capacity for growth and self-directed change, which can be particularly helpful for improving self-esteem and navigating life transitions.

Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting the plan over time so interventions fit the client's needs and pace rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy with Christy uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to attend sessions around work or family commitments, maintain continuity during relocations or busy periods, and choose the communication method that feels most comfortable while working toward therapeutic goals.
