Christy Potter is a licensed professional clinical counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, depression, and anger. She also supports people coping with big life changes and the everyday pressure of feeling stuck. Christy writes and talks with each person in plain language and focuses on what they want to change.
Christy uses brief, practical conversations to figure out what will help most. She adapts the plan to each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she pays attention to what feels realistic for a person’s life.
With seven years of experience she has worked with people dealing with panic, mood problems, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses issues like guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, and trouble with communication and control. Sessions aim to build skills for managing emotions and improving day-to-day functioning.
Christy draws on several therapy styles, including cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness practices, to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses client-centered techniques to keep the work focused on each person’s values and goals.
She is licensed in California as an LPCC and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people use the site’s continue button on this profile and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How Christy uses ACT, CBT, and mindfulness online
Christy often blends cognitive behavioral tools with mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to address patterns that keep people stuck. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors that can change mood and anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that move someone toward those values while accepting difficult feelings.
Mindfulness techniques are used to teach simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up by them. These approaches are useful for anxiety, panic, stress, low self esteem, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the first sessions. Christy works collaboratively to decide what feels most useful, and she adjusts the plan as goals and needs evolve. Clients and therapist check in together about what is working and what should change.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are listed on the provider page. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules call for them. Licensed professionals can still use similar tools and exercises in remote sessions to help people build everyday habits and coping skills.
