Christy Bell

Christy Bell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people manage anger alongside related concerns like stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship strain. She works with individuals coping with grief, self-esteem struggles, addictive behaviors, career stress, and life changes. Her approach aims to be affirming and straightforward so people feel understood and heard.

Christy keeps sessions practical and down-to-earth. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are layered in when helpful to change unhelpful patterns and build coping tools.

She pays close attention to attachment and abandonment issues, family of origin patterns, and communication problems. Christy also notes experience with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and recovery from sexual or relationship trauma. She includes exploration of identity and intimacy-related concerns when clients want that focus.

Christy sometimes brings creative, interest-based tools into sessions, such as roleplaying prompts or metaphor exercises drawn from books, gaming, or pop culture. These tools are used to clarify values, practice new skills, and make hard conversations easier to access.

With 12 years of experience, Christy aims to balance challenge and support. She invites people to try concrete strategies, track what helps, and adjust as needed. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches used online and what they feel like

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping people find their own solutions and build confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and practice different responses for anxiety, anger, or low mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. These skills can be useful when someone struggles with intense feelings or conflict.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan over time. Clients and therapist review what helps and change course when needed.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, since specific options were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when schedules demand, and allow people to use tools or worksheets between meetings. Licensed professionals can tailor sessions to focus on skills, talk therapy, or practical problem solving so therapy fits real-life needs.
