About Christy

Christy Stinton is a licensed counselor who offers calm, direct support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She works with individuals dealing with trauma, relationship and parenting concerns, addictions, grief, career struggles, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and issues related to self-esteem. Christy practices in New Hampshire and communicates in English.

Christy brings 14 years of clinical experience to her sessions. She uses a warm, interactive style and focuses on building a trusting working relationship.

Background and approach

Conversations are tailored to each person so sessions feel practical and grounded in everyday life. Her approach blends cognitive-behavioral ideas, developmental perspectives, and person-centered talk therapy. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, understand how past experiences shape present problems, and guide conversations with respect and curiosity.

She adapts techniques to each person rather than following a single script. Christy also works with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, as one part of care for trauma and distressing memories. She explains methods in plain terms and helps people decide what to try next.

Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Christy frames therapy as a partnership and supports people as they try new ways of coping and making changes in day-to-day life.

Online support

How EMDR and talk therapy work online

Christy uses EMDR alongside conversational approaches to help people reduce distress from upsetting memories. EMDR involves guided bilateral stimulation while the person recalls a troubling memory, and it is often used for trauma and other strong emotional reactions.

She also draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas and person-centered talk therapy. Cognitive-behavioral work focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, while person-centered sessions prioritize listening, validation, and working at the client's pace.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Christy discusses goals, past experiences, and preferences to decide what to try first. She adjusts methods over time so the work fits each person's needs.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for longer therapeutic work and EMDR-style protocols that benefit from visual connection. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people fit brief updates or reflections into a busy day without committing to a full session.
