About Christy:Thanks for taking the time to check out my about page. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. This means, I'm qualified to potentially offer counseling/therapy services to you, IF you are a resident in the state of Texas. The sessions can happen online through doxy.me/tappe.
I'm also registered as a National Certified Counselor (NCC), which mean I have an extra certification backed by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC). Education background: I graduated from the University of North Texas with a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Behavior Analysis and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio, Television, Video Film. I completed my Master of Arts degree from St. Marys University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Counseling methods: When it comes to therapeutic modalities/techniques, I often use ACT ( Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) or CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) as a framework to work with clients. |
