Christie Maether , LMHC

Christie Maether is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 10 years of experience working in community mental health clinics and schools. She supports people from childhood through adulthood, with a particular focus on young adults and women navigating identity, relationships, and life transitions.

Her work often centers on individuals who are high-achieving and introspective - motivated to change but feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Christie practices in a collaborative, person-centered way, treating clients as the experts on their own lives while providing guidance and structure to explore what feels right.

She weaves together several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, to help clients notice how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and to identify small, intentional shifts that support meaningful change. Christie believes in treating the whole person, recognizing that challenges are shaped by relationships, environment, beliefs, habits, and past experiences.

Therapy with Christie often involves untangling those complexities, building clarity, and taking practical steps such as setting boundaries, adjusting surroundings, or practicing acceptance of what cannot be controlled. She offers a supportive, collaborative space for clients to gain perspective and reconnect with themselves.

Could virtual therapy be a good fit for you?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions - research and clinical experience indicate that remote therapy can be comparable to traditional in-person work for many people.

One major advantage is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the way that suits them best: via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule and to choose the format that feels most comfortable.

Licensed professionals provide care remotely, and if a different match is needed, clients typically have the option to switch therapists. For many, online therapy offers an accessible and practical pathway to support and growth.
