About Cristy
Cristy Hooper is an LCMHC licensed in North Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger management, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also focuses on communication problems and building self-love.
Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She listens to what a person is trying to change, then works with them to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. From there she suggests specific skills to try and checks how those skills fit into daily life.
Cristy uses methods that encourage active participation. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to link thoughts, feelings, and actions in concrete ways. She also uses client-centered techniques to keep conversations centered on the person's experiences and priorities.
Mindfulness practices are used to help people notice stress and calm physical reactions without getting lost in them. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making a change, and solution-focused work breaks goals into manageable steps.
People who reach out start by describing a current problem and a goal for change. Cristy helps make a short plan and tests small shifts that can be repeated between sessions. That practical rhythm is designed to make progress feel measurable and manageable.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and then practices specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, stress, and anger because it focuses on small, testable changes that can be practiced between meetings.She also uses client-centered methods that keep the work focused on what matters to the person. This approach prioritizes the client's goals and helps shape which skills and strategies are tried. Mindfulness techniques are used to notice physical and emotional responses and to practice simple attention exercises that reduce reactivity.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time based on what helps.
