About Callie

Callie McKenzie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience in California. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with self esteem and confidence. Callie aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as they take the first steps toward change.

She uses practical conversations to tailor a plan that fits each person's situation. Sessions address trauma and abuse, mood difficulties, and common struggles like guilt, shame, and attachment concerns. Callie also supports people dealing with social anxiety, communication problems, and transitions in life.

Her approach centers on clear, collaborative work rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Clients can expect a focus on building coping skills, improving self-love, and strengthening everyday communication. The goal is to make progress that feels useful between sessions.

Callie has worked with a variety of concerns over a 15-year career and draws on that experience to shape treatment choices. She invites people to set goals and to adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays relevant and practical.

To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability. International clients may be accepted, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Callie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional healing. For example, short-term skill building teaches specific coping tools for managing anxiety and low mood, helping people use new habits between sessions. Trauma-informed work centers on safety and pacing so emotional material is addressed carefully and at a person's own speed.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help you choose methods that match your needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as you progress. Clients shape the work with feedback so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since formats are not detailed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing check-ins from different locations. It can also allow shorter, focused sessions or more regular scheduling when that supports momentum. Talk with the therapist during the matching and scheduling steps to learn which formats she currently offers and which will best fit your routine.
