About Christy
Christy Bell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, and codependency concerns.
Christy uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She listens, helps set realistic goals, and teaches skills to manage overwhelming feelings. She often combines client-centered conversation with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns.
She also brings in ideas from existential and Jungian perspectives when they fit the work. That can mean talking about values, life meaning, or personal narratives that shape how someone shows up in relationships. She sometimes uses creative metaphors and exercises drawn from books, games, or pop culture when helpful.
Sessions focus on what someone needs now - learning to say no, handle triggers, or steady emotions during a crisis. Christy offers coaching-style support for practical problems like career stress or managing recovery from substance use.
People who choose her often want straightforward tools and honest feedback alongside reflective work about patterns that repeat. She works in English and does not take international clients. The process begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Christy uses client-centered therapy to focus on what matters most to each person. That approach centers the conversation on the client’s concerns and aims to clarify goals and values. It can help when a person wants a therapist who listens and follows their lead.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT offers practical exercises and step-by-step strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and patterns like people-pleasing. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Christy will work with clients to decide what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.

Therapists can adapt CBT and DBT skills exercises to remote sessions and use creative tools to keep the work practical and actionable.
