About Christy
Christy Damrath is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia with eight years of experience working with adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma and related concerns. Christy helps people who are navigating relationship or intimacy issues and those coping with life changes or career stress.
She trained at Virginia Commonwealth University, earning both a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work. Early work in community-based settings moved into outpatient care, where she has supported adults with mood disorders, PTSD, and grief. That background informs a practical, skills-based approach in sessions.
In meetings Christy focuses on building rapport quickly and listening first. She asks direct questions to clarify goals and to help people set achievable steps. Sessions include practicing concrete coping skills and testing what works in daily life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy are common tools she uses to help people change unhelpful thoughts and to set small, practical goals. Mindfulness techniques are also used to support coping with strong emotions.
Her work centers on collaborative planning and routine skill practice. People who prefer straightforward conversation and measurable steps tend to find this style useful. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online sessions can use worksheets, thought records, and short exercises to practice those changes between meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical goals and noticing what is already working; sessions often include setting a single action to try before the next meeting.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Christy will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a client's needs and preferences. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting techniques, and tracking progress together over time.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, since formats are not specified here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency while they practice CBT skills, solution-focused tasks, and mindfulness exercises between sessions.
