Dr. Christie Spence Joyner offers remote psychotherapy that draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is presented in accessible terms as a way to clarify personal values and practice present-moment awareness so choices align with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is framed as practical skills training to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, or depression.

Therapeutic collaboration focuses on combining values-guided goals with concrete skill development. This can suit people who want to explore family or relationship dynamics, address social anxiety, manage workplace stress, or work through life transitions while building action plans and coping strategies.

Remote sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how to engage in the therapeutic process.
