In addition to individual and family treatment, she facilitates trauma recovery groups and LGBTQ+ support groups, drawing on group work to complement one-on-one care.
Christie has specialized training in EMDR and holds Gottman couples counseling level one and two certification, and she incorporates a range of approaches to address depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, relationship difficulties, gender and sexuality concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Her style is to meet each person where they are in their readiness for change, offering compassionate, respectful, and nonjudgmental support. She works collaboratively with clients to help them take the courageous steps toward greater well-being and more fulfilling relationships.
EMDR, Gottman, and CBT in an Online Setting
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and learning practical strategies to shift them. It is often used for symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress and helps clients develop skills to manage everyday challenges. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories using guided bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions - it is commonly used for trauma and abuse-related concerns. The Gottman Method offers research-informed tools for couples to improve communication, resolve conflict, and strengthen emotional connection through concrete exercises and shared understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christie Wakefield works collaboratively with each person or couple to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the treatment plan as progress and insight emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access care from home or other convenient locations. Licensed professionals can deliver many evidence-based techniques effectively through these formats, and the variety of options helps clients choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable and accessible for their work together with a therapist.
