About Christine
Christine "Christie" Kraft is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Arizona with 25 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and issues around self-esteem. Christie speaks English and accepts international clients.
Christie uses clear, practical conversation to help people sort through problems. She treats the person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on concrete skills and steps rather than jargon or abstract theory.
Her approach draws on several well-known methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and connections. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports noticing difficult feelings while choosing actions that match personal values.
Christie also applies techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when those fit the issue at hand. She has many years of experience helping with divorce and separation, communication problems, abandonment and attachment concerns, guilt and shame, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and women’s issues.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model. Confirm current session options before booking.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that fit their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationship patterns from the past show up now and helps people change how they connect and communicate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions to develop practical coping strategies for anxiety and mood changes.Figuring out which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit those aims. Plans are adjusted as needed based on what helps and what feels workable in everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when days are busy, and reduce time spent traveling. The clinician will discuss what format works best for scheduling, communication needs, and how to get consistent, focused time for sessions.
