About Christy

Christy Potter is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in California who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and low self-esteem. She focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life easier. Christy aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people to talk through hard things and find clearer direction.

She uses short, straightforward conversations to identify what's getting in the way of feeling better. Then she tailors a plan that fits each person's needs. That plan may include learning simple skills for mood regulation, making choices that align with values, and practicing new ways of thinking and acting.

Christy draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. She adapts those methods to help with issues such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, anger, isolation, and problems with control or communication.

With seven years of experience, Christy blends practical skill-building with a warm, nonjudgmental manner. She supports people through life changes, grief, and challenges to motivation and self-love. Sessions are set up to match each person’s goals and pace.

To begin, readers are encouraged to consider what they most want to change and to use the site’s Start Therapy tools to connect. Christy works in English and practices in California as an LPCC.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help when depression, anxiety, or avoidance gets in the way of living a meaningful life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical tools for reducing panic, shifting unhelpful thinking, and testing new behaviors to improve mood and functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That choice can change over time as progress is made or problems shift.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. When arranging online sessions, many people find benefits such as easier scheduling around work or caregiving, fewer travel needs, and the ability to use shorter check-ins when time is limited. Online work can also make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to track progress over time. Licensed professionals adapt pacing and tools so sessions fit into each person’s everyday routine without assuming a single format.
