Christine Garwick-Foley , LPC

Christine Garwick-Foley brings a calm, steady presence to work with people feeling overwhelmed by grief, anxiety, anger, or fatigue. She helps clients who feel stuck or unmotivated find practical ways to reclaim purpose and keep moving forward, honoring the interplay of physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects that shape each person. She holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - and combines that foundation with certifications in Interactive Guided Imagery (sm) and Thought Field Therapy as well as additional training in behavioral nutrition, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and NeuroModulation Technique therapy.

Her practice focuses primarily on adults dealing with grief and loss, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, trauma, and challenges with motivation. Rather than limiting sessions to conversation alone, she draws on each person’s existing strengths while teaching new tools and techniques to expand coping resources and support change. Christine emphasizes a collaborative approach that meets people where they are and builds a practical path forward. She looks forward to meeting those ready to begin that work and supporting them through the process.

Therapeutic approaches and the benefits of online care

Christine integrates Client-Centered Therapy into her work, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them access their own strengths and insights - this approach is well suited to issues like grief, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by shifting thoughts and behaviors. For trauma-related work, Christine brings training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a somatic and memory-focused method that can help people process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christine collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She helps clients experiment with techniques and chooses strategies together so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging let clients fit sessions into busy lives, continue work during transitions, or access care from different locations. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to maintain continuity of care while working toward meaningful change.
